It is a similar photo and just a close up but not the same shot.<br><br>Ramon, that is a good point.

You can't say in which period it was taken, I bet it could be a 2009 photo as well, maybe that's why it's so special!Ramonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648047520581807152.post-45277606967707414502009-12-12T15:19:22.000-08:002009-12-12T15:19:22.000-08:00LOL don't forget the older book Marilyn Monroe...LOL don't forget the older book Marilyn Monroe: In Her Own Words (same pic, just more of a close-up of the face). It is a very over used picture I have to agree.
