Photographer Len Steckler is just now releasing photographs that he took of Marilyn Monroe during a 1961 visit with Pulitzer-prize winning poet Carl Sandburg. Steckler is selling them as a limited edition series called “Marilyn Monroe: The Visit.”
This piece presents a number of vintage photographs from that series, as well as two videos about these photographs.
Please visit my website to view these photographs, and to watch the videos about "The Visit" series of photographs:

Yes, I do see your point about her features. But also, in the first video, the photographer talks about how Marilyn arrived for her visit with Carl Sandburg 4-hours late. She apologized profusely, saying she'd been at the beauty parlor for all that time, getting her hair done. And she'd gotten it styled so it looked as much like Sandburg's as possible! Adding to that, she wore the dark sunglasses the whole time. We should remember, however, that this was the phase in Marilyn's life when she was suffering from severe depression, and that she died eight just months after that visit.
