Unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe surfaceStory Highlights
02 June 2009
They were taken before Marilyn Monroe became branded as the voluptuous blonde who oozed sex appeal in dozens of Hollywood films.
They were taken before rumors of an affair with President John F. Kennedy swirled and her mental breakdowns became public.
They were taken before the beautiful actress's mysterious overdose that resulted in her death at the age of 36.
In a collection discovered by Life.com last month, unpublished photographs of Monroe reveal a softer, more innocent 24-year-old budding starlet in a more peaceful time, before her fame peaked.
Her flawless face bears a natural look with minimal makeup, unusual for the star, who was often glamorized in photo shoots with lipstick, designer dresses and expensive jewelry.
Monday would have been Monroe's 83rd birthday.

Wreckage seen in search area for missing plane
Wreckage has been found in the Atlantic Ocean that could have come from a missing Air France jet that disappeared Monday with 228 passengers and crew on board, Brazilian aviation officials said Tuesday
Floating objects and seats were found 720 kilometers (447 miles) from the island of Fernando de Noronha, said Brazilian Air Force spokesman Jorge Amaral.
The search will continue but there is not enough material to officially say this is the wreckage from Flight 447, Maral said.
Brazilian, French and Senegalese rescue teams were combing vast sections of the Atlantic on Tuesday.
A report of "shiny spots" in the sea along the route of Flight 447 by a crew from the Brazilian airline TAM prompted a search in the territorial waters off Senegal, but without result.
The Airbus A330, carrying 228 people, encountered heavy turbulence early Monday, some three hours after it began the 11-hour flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France, according to Air France CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon.
At that point, the plane's automatic system initiated a four-minute series of messages to the company's maintenance computers, indicating that "several pieces of aircraft equipment were at fault or had broken down," he told reporters.

Skin cancer is colorblind -- no 'free pass'
(CNN) -- When Tiffany Wilson noticed a small growth on her left hip, she didn't think much of it."It was bizarre," recalled the 41-year-old salon owner from Minneapolis, Minnesota. "I just thought it was a pimple."
Wilson, who is African-American, can't say exactly what prompted her to point out the bump to her physician, but she said she remembered thinking the diagnosis wouldn't be anything serious.
"It never occurred to me that it was skin cancer," she said. But it was. She had basal cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer.
Wilson spent long hours as a child in the summer sun at Lake Nokomis in Minnesota and went to the tanning bed before visiting relatives in the Caribbean, she said. She also said she never wore sunscreen.
"Back then, I just don't think people were aware of the effects [of the sun]," she said.
Those may seem like obvious red flags to people who are sun-conscious, but they were foreign concepts to Wilson, which is why her diagnosis came as a shock.
"I just assumed, 'I'm a person of color, I'll be OK,' " she said.
Dermatologists say they are concerned because skin cancer rates are increasing among minority groups in the United States. Like Wilson, many people of color often mistakenly believe skin cancer is not something they should be worried about.

Rice exporters may achieve $2bn target
According to details released by the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (Reap) during July-May period, the country exported 801,72 tons of Basmati and fetched $908 million and non-Basmati 1.782 million tons, thereby earning $920 million.
Abdul Rahim Janoo, Reap chairman, while appreciating exporters achievement of the target of $1.8 billion, said it was only possible because of business friendly policies of the government.
He said it is a remarkable achievement when looked at global recession and financial crisis.
Mr Janoo said last year (2007-08) the country exported 3.5 million tons of rice, valuing more than $2.2 billion but this was only possible when global prices of rice and other commodities were going higher every day.
He said Reap has sent trade delegations with the help of TDAP to Saudi Arabia and Republic of South Africa for further enhancing rice exports.
Mr Janoo said next month two other rice exporters’ delegations would be leaving for Qatar and EU countries to explore new rice markets and promote Pakistan rice which is the best in the world.
Similarly, the Reap is planning to send delegations in July and August to Kuwait, Iran, Senegal and Zambia which are also big markets for rice.
