Selling my extremely rare original Marilyn Monroe photograph taken by George Barris in 1962 at Tim Leimert’s house in California. In excellent condition. Gelatin silver. Size 5x7 inch. Produced from the original negative or transparency. Live signed by George Barris. Stamped on back. Here Marilyn is in a beautiful pose looking absolutely gorgeous in her favorite Pucci blouse. Rare shot-One of the “last photos” ever to be taken of the young starlet.
“Getting (Monroe) items is becoming more and more difficult," said Darren Julien...The supply's less and less, but demand's more and more because you have people in Asia and Russia and all over the world that are collecting pop culture - especially Marilyn Monroe."
-Darren Julien of Julien's sales

Taken shortly before Marilyn’s passing in June of 1962. Barris went shopping for Marilyn before this shooting and is quoted in his book as saying “On my shopping spree for Marilyn, I went to two of her favorite stores, Jax on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, and Saks Fifth Avenue. At Jax I bought her some beautiful slacks and decorative Emilio Pucci sport shirts. When Marilyn & Barris got to Tim’s house, Barris introduced him and his maid, Louise, to Marilyn. Louise became so nervous when Marilyn shook her hand that she fluttered and stuttered, saying, “Is that really you? No one will believe me when I say I met and shook hands with Marilyn Monroe. I can hardly believe it myself. Is that really you?” Marilyn, laughing, replied, “Sometimes I can hardly believe it, too.”
