The
Last Sitting is a
book and photo shoot of Marilyn
Monroe by photographer Bert Stern. The photo shoot was
commissioned by Vogue magazine in late June 1962, taking
place over three daily sessions, just six weeks before she died. Bert Stern first published The
Last Sitting in 1982. The
book included a large number of the over 2,500 images that Stern had shot,
including contact sheets with images Monroe had disliked and
crossed out. In the book, Stern recounted being enchanted by Monroe until a
near-intimate encounter after the second day of shooting; he then realized that
she was deeply troubled.
There are a few small scratches which are shown in the last photo.
