The last ever professional photos of Marilyn Monroe taken just weeks before her untimely death have emerged for sale.
The poignant pictures of the screen siren were taken by close friend George Barris on July 13, 1962, destined for a book about Monroe.
But just three weeks later Monroe was tragically found dead at her Los Angeles home aged 36 - making Barris's pictures of the world's biggest star hugely valuable.
