Negligee

After completing their initial “Mandolin” collaboration in September 1953, Milton and Marilyn continued working together for the next few days. Continuing to showcase Marilyn’s natural photogenic talents and her range as a model, the two decided on a photo series featuring the actress in a negligee along with fur and a diamond bracelet. 

During this time, Marilyn had recently sprained her ankle during filming for River of No Return. In most of these photos, you will often see her sitting, kneeling, or lying on the floor sot that she did not have to stand for long periods of time.
