These photographs were taken before Marilyn Monroe became branded as the voluptuous blonde in dozens of Hollywood films.
In a collection discovered by Life.com last month, unpublished photographs of Marilyn Monroe reveal a softer and more innocent looking 24yr old budding starlet.
Her flawless face bears a natural look with minimal makeup, unusual for the star, who was often glamorized in photo shoots with lipstick, designer dresses and expensive jewelry.
Today would have been Monroe's 83rd birthday.
Last month, Walton stumbled upon the rare photographs while combing through the company's digital photo archives. Apparently, no one at Life.com even knew they were ever taken.
Upon investigating the photos, Walton says, she found there were few notes left on the negatives. She says the photos were probably taken for a cover shoot that was never used. Monroe first appeared on Life Magazine's cover in 1952.
