Rare footage of Marilyn Monroe’s third wedding surfaces
Marilyn Monroe lived a life in the spotlight, which brands the fleeting glimpses into the iconic blondes’ private life rather alluring – and actually very rare.
However, Milton H. Greene – a fashion and celebrity photographer and friend of the starlet – has released new, intimate footage that includes scenes from her third wedding reception.
Marilyn was married three times before her untimely death at just 36. She married for the first time at just 16 to Jim Dougherty, again to athlete Joe Dimaggio in 1954, and finally to playwright Arthur Miller.
In Greene's video, courtesy of Vanity Fair, the model turned actress kisses her new, doting husband and cheerfully greets guests at the wedding. Other scenes in the montage of footage show the smitten couple dancing, Marilyn rehearsing movie scenes, and posing on a bed during a photo shoot.
The film will be shown on loop at the Morrison Hotel Gallery at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, accompanied other behind-the-scenes images of Marilyn, captured by Greene.
Take a look at the rare footage yourself in the video above.
