It's Marilyn Monroe as you've never seen her before.
Previously unpublished snapshots capturing one of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood history have been released in Britain and are for sale.
The eight pictures - taken by famed shutterbug Eve Arnold - feature a resplendent Monroe during candid moments, like relaxing in bed and practicing her lines in front of a mirror.
"She trusted me and she was a joy to photograph," said Arnold. "She liked my pictures and was canny enough to realize that they were a fresh approach to presenting her."
The limited edition prints - only 495 of each image have been made - are being sold at selected galleries throughout Britain for roughly $575 each.
They were unveiled at the Mellor Gallery in Oxfordshire, England, on Thursday.
