Never before seen original Marilyn Monroe photos have been discovered and we have them here for you to see. It seems that Marilyn’s sex appeal is timeless as these 1953 snaps prove. It was Marilyn’s make-up artist, Allan ‘Whitey’ Snyder who took these instantly classic shots.
Marilyn was nervous for her first major film role in ‘Niagara’ and Allan had the bright idea to calm her down by taking some pics. These photos will be for sale on Saturday at an auction in Beverly Hills but they truly are priceless.
These photos as well as other valuable Marilyn Monroe memorabilia were part of Allan’s estate. He passed away in 1994 and was her makeup artist for 16 years.
The SUN reports: MARILYN Monroe oozes sex appeal in previously unseen photos — taken by her make-up artist to help her relax on a film set. Allan “Whitey” Snyder grabbed his camera when the actress was 27 and suffering from nerves while shooting her first major role, in the 1953 movie Niagara.
A trusted pal, he often took snaps to ease her stage fright. Now his amazing archive — including a rare naked calendar shot of Marilyn — is set to fetch thousands at a sale in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
Auctioneer Darren Julien said: “Whitey was her make- up artist for 16 years. “Sometimes she’d get nervous and he would photograph her and she’d come to life. It took her mind off her problems.” Whitey was a pallbearer at Marilyn’s funeral in 1962. He died aged 79 in 1994.
Mr Julien added: “These come from his estate. They’ve never been seen before.”
