The last photos ever taken of Marilyn Monroe are crazy-beautiful

As the Daily Mail reports, the last known pictures taken of Marilyn Monroe are going to be sold at auction soon.  The shots were taken on July 13th, 1962 at the Santa Monica beach by Monroe’s close friend George Barris. The beach pics were intended for a book about Monroe, but when the actress tragically passed away three weeks after the shoot, the book was scrapped.

We are in awe of the gorgeousness of these shots. There has never been and there never will be another like the great Ms. Monroe.

Gaze in wonder at the gorgeousness below.
