Rare Photos From Snyder Estate

On location for Niagara, 1952

Photos taken on the set of various Monroe movies – including Niagara, River of No Return, and The Prince and the Showgirl – are being sold by the estate of Marilyn’s make-up artist and friend, Allan ‘Whitey’ Snyder.

The colour slides are part of Julien’s Hollywood Legends 2012 auction, set for March 31. The gold cigarette lighter that Marilyn gave to Whitey, engraved with ‘Dear Whitey, while I’m still warm, Marilyn’, is also up for sale.
