Six photos of Marilyn, taken by Jock Carroll during filming of Niagara in 1952, were purchased – with copyright – by Limelight Movie Art of Chelsea at an auction this year, reports London’s Evening Standard. They are now offering a selection of prints for sale, starting at £1,650.
While I wish them luck with their enterprise, I can’t help wondering how Marilyn – who was always grateful to her fans – might have felt about her image being turned into such high-end merchandise. It’s a pity there aren’t some more affordable options as well, for fans on ordinary incomes.
