LIFE Magazine recently discovered some unpublished photos of a young 24 year old Marliyn Monroe. Shot by Ed Clark in 1950 in Los Angeles when she was virtually an unknown for the magazine where the editors didn't even know who she was. Two years later she would grace the cover of LIFE and became a household name. She looks so soft and natural in these photos. Unstressed by fame. If she were alive today, she'd be 83.

thank you for sharing these! you are so right-she looks so innocent and carefree. you can almost tell fame hasn't hit her life yet.
She was so beautiful, every time I see her it still amazes me!
I must have been living under a rock to have missed all these! ;) Thanks for wonderful blog!
Oh my, she was truly gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
I have always loved the non-studio shots of Marilyn. These are some of the best. And I love the bikini top!
