Just when you thought you’ve seen every photo ever taken of Marilyn Monroe, along comes another book of exclusive pictures. It’s called Marilyn: August 1953 and the pictures were all taken for Look magazine while 27 year old Marilyn was filming “The River of No Return” with Robert Mitchum and Rory Calhoun in Alberta, Canada. Baseball hero Joe DiMaggio visited her on location and Marilyn looks sweet and a little shy in their photo. They got married the following year.
