Today the June issue of
Vanity Fair arrived on our desk, bearing a photo of
Marilyn Monroe and a giant cover line: "Inside: The Lost Nudes." The
story is an adaptation
of photographer Lawrence Schiller's memoir, in which he recalls
photographing Monroe on the set of her last movie, the never-finished
Something's Got to Give. The article does, in fact,
include nude photos--although (spoiler alert) all the shots are strictly
PG-13. What made this
article stick out for us, however, is that it's a reminder of one of the most-viewed stories ever posted on Washingtonian.com: an article from December 2006 called "Marilyn Monroe's First
Nude Photos." So for all the folks who looked at it--and were
instantly disappointed that (spoiler alert number two) no actual nudes were included in the post--we'd recommend hitting your local
magazine rack soon.
