Early Marilyn Monroe Photos Sell for Over $300K at Auction

Images from Marilyn Monroe’s first photo shoot have sold for $352,000 at an auction that included items from Lady Gaga and John Lennon, AP reports.

Julien’s Auctions spokesperson Caroline Galloway told The Associated Press on Sunday that the Monroe photos — taken in 1946 when she was still Norma Jeane Dougherty — were the highlight of the Beverly Hills auction known as “Icons & Idols.”

The photos come with negatives and the rare right to sell and distribute them. A judge in September ruled they must be auctioned to settle debts of photographer Joseph Jasgur.
