You must have heard of Marilyn Monroe! If No, A larger fraction of the world’s population has heard about her as well as knows her story. Monroe is widely recognized as an actress, a singer and importantly a model – She was it all.

She gained her fame as a popular sex symbol in the ’50s and 60’s motivating other women to pursue their dreams and be themselves at all times. Unfortunately, Monroe passed away at a very young age (36-years-old).

Nevertheless, the beautiful Diva still managed to achieve so many things than most people achieve in a full lifetime. She was photographed by numerous photographers, including Sam Shaw, which she considered one of her best.

While Shaw was undoubtedly a dear friend of Monroe’s, he was permitted to capture her private life as well as her cherished moments.

In this photoshoot, Monroe was pregnant, but unhappily had a miscarriage one month after.
