Black and white photograph of Marilyn Monroe kneeling on pool steps of the night lit pool. Numbered #105 on reverse. The story on the set is that the script called for a nude scene. Marilyn swam for a few minutes in her flesh colored suit. She proceeded to take this off in the pool. Cameras rolled. Marilyn had lost 25 pounds since her last film and looked absolutely gorgeous. Schiller stated: "I shot everything with a Nikon SLR and a 180mm Sonnar lens sold to me by [photojournalist] David Douglas Duncan for $50…The lens had been specially modified at Life to fit the camera. The color film was high-speed tungsten Ektachrome pushed one stop, and the black and white was Tri-X.” Verso stamped, Lawrence Schiller, Wm. Read Woodfield, and © 1976 The New Ingot Co. 10 by 6 ¾ inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
