MARILYN MONROE AT HOME

Photographer unknown.

A side of her that is rarely shown....Marilyn was photographed in her studio apartment in the Beverly Carlton Hotel. Apparently, she was avid reader. She had a collection of over 400 books, some of which were auctioned at Christie's in 1999.

I'm in love with the colors in this photo. The bright blue walls, her blue jeans, bright red lips. The space seems so cozy (I'm a big fan of cozy). Books, art and a bed...what else could one need??

She counted her books, records and a photo of Eleonora Duse as her most prized possessions.

I also love this one.

"I’m not interested in money...I just want to be wonderful.”
Marilyn Monroe
