Unknown beach photos of Marilyn Monroe taken by her lover

Before becoming a famous sex symbol named Marilyn Monroe, 20-year-old Norma Jean Doherty and her lover, photographer Andre de Dienes, we've arrived at Malibu Beach. There, on the sand dunes, the future blonde and sex bomb posed for a photo shoot.

According to Andre de Dienesa, she was 20 years old and she had never experienced the dizziness of success. However, even then one could see glimpses of her splendor — in her laughter. The photographer asked the girl to pose and react instinctively, without thinking, to the words "happiness", "surprise", "reflection", "doubt", "peace of mind", "sadness", "self-flagellation" and "death".

When the photographer pronounced the word "death", Norma took the edges of her dark clothes and covered her head. For her, death was darkness, emptiness. Then Andre tried to get a different reaction from the future actress, explaining that death can be a new beginning and hope. Norma shrugged her shoulders and said that death would always mean for her only a black void, the end of everything.
