George Barris - MARILYN MONROE IN PUCCI BLOUSE
From "THE LAST PHOTOS", JULY 13, 1962 at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive, Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
In 2024 the Los Angeles Council approved Monroe's house being designated as a Historic Cultural Monument.

Original matte-finish 8 x 10 silver gelatin photo of Marilyn Monroe wearing a Pucci blouse as she sits on a bar stool, signed in black felt-tip ink in the lower right corner. Verso stamped, "George Barris, 5, Bd. A. Briand, 91450 Soisy s/s France" and "Photo on loan for one use only and must be returned." In very fine condition.
George Barris (June 14, 1922 – September 30, 2016) was an American photographer and photojournalist best 
known for his photographs of actress Marilyn Monroe. He was born in New York City to Romanian parents.
Barris had a lifelong interest in photography, and as a young man he worked for the U.S. Army's Office of Public Relations. Many of his photographs of General Dwight D. Eisenhower were published. After the war, he became 
a freelance photographer and found work in Hollywood.
 
He photographed many stars of the 1950s and 1960s, including Elizabeth Taylor on the set of Cleopatra, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable and Steve McQueen.

Barris is perhaps best known for his work with Marilyn Monroe, whom he photographed in 1954 on the set of 
The Seven Year Itch, and in 1962 at Santa Monica beach, and in Brentwood in a series that became known as “The Last Photos”. Barris was collaborating on a book titled Marilyn: Her Life In Her Own Words at the time of her death. Barris is well known for taking the last photo of Monroe on July 13, 1962. 
Barris died on September 30, 2016, at the age of 94.
