A group of 27 original colour and black and white candid Marilyn Monroe related photographs. Monroe is shown in nearly all photograps, which were taken at various times and events throughout her career.
A huge archive of candid photographs of screen siren Marilyn Monroe taken by a superfan she befriended has emerged for sale for a staggering £320,000.
The collection includes more than 550 colour and black and white snaps, some of which have never been seen before, that were taken by fan-turned-friend Freda Hull.
Monroe was notoriously guarded but welcomed Mrs Hull and her five friends into her inner sanctum, often giving them gifts and even once inviting them for a picnic at her home in Connecticut.
The archive, which also boasts 150 colour slides, 750 stills from Monroe's films and a collection of personal home movies, is tipped to fetch £320,000 when it goes under the hammer at Julien's Auctions.
