Note:

Best known for his candid photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Bert Stern’s Marilyn with Diamonds reveals her playful side marred by tragedy. Shot over three days in June 1962 at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, Stern made the most of this photo shoot, which was to be the very last for the star before her untimely death.
