Originally taken for a magazine article by photographer Carl Perutz, the 1958 'Hat Sitting' were never published. Marilyn herself purchased some prints but the rest were initially lost until later found in a NYC warehouse.
This photoshoot is the last time Marilyn is seen sporting her longer layered '1957' hair before it was restyled for 'Some Like It Hot', which she started filming on 4 August 1958.
