About this photo
Marilyn Monroe André de Dienes in an intimate moment at Malibu Beach
This intimate photograph from 1949 captures Marilyn Monroe a private photo session with André de Dienes on the beaches of Malibu. The Hungarian photographer, who was romantically involved with the future star, captures Norma Jeane Baker here in a moment of pure spontaneity, long before her transformation into a Hollywood icon. This image is among the last photographs of Marilyn Monroe before her first contract with Columbia Pictures.
In 1949, Marilyn was still just a young model and aspiring actress, earning $10 an hour. That year marked a turning point: she landed her first small roles in *Love Happy* alongside the Marx Brothers and *A Ticket to Tomahawk*. De Dienes, captivated by her natural beauty, went on to take some of his most stunning portraits of her, helping to shape the image of the future legend of American cinema.
A tender, knowing gaze that reveals the vulnerability of the woman who would go on to conquer the world.
