Rare photo taken after Marilyn Monroe sang for JFK's birthday
Photographer said Secret Service seized all other JFK-Monroe photos
White House photographer kept photo secret for decades
Tuesday would have been Marilyn Monroe's 84th birthday<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Marilyn Monroe's sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung for President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration marked the actress' last major public appearance before her mysterious death in August 1962.........

Tuesday, which would have been Monroe's 84th birthday, marks the public debut of a rare image of Monroe with Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy together after the May 19, 1962, party......

"There is no other known photo of Bobby [Kennedy] with Marilyn or JFK with Marilyn, and it's not because they were never photographed together," said filmmaker Keya Morgan, who now owns the only original prints of it. "In fact, they were photographed together many times, but the Secret Service and the FBI confiscated every single photograph."

Stoughton, who sold the prints to Morgan a year before his death in 2008, told him agents missed one negative in their search, he said.
"The Secret Service came in when he was developing the negatives and basically confiscated all the ones of Jack, Bobby with Marilyn," Morgan said. "The only one that survived is the one that was in the dryer."

Singer Harry Belafonte is seen in the background with his wife, talking to a man that Stoughton told Morgan was comedian Jack Benny.
Beverly Hills art appraiser David W. Streets, who reviewed the prints and their history for CNN, called them "the real McCoy."

"This is a very significant piece of American and celebrity history, of fine art photography," Streets said.

Stoughton made and signed 10 prints for Morgan, 30 inches by 30 inches. Nine of them go on sale Tuesday at the Art & Artifact Gallery in West Hollywood, California.
:)
The 10th print was given to singer Michael Jackson two years ago, Morgan said. Morgan was a friend of the pop star's, who was a big Monroe fan.

Michael was a fan of old Hollywood. He loved movie stars from that time so it doesn't surprise me if he was also a Marilyn Monroe fan.

[suzynyc]

I suspected he was a fan of hers but it's nice to see the proof, thanx.

[BillieJean84]

yes! I know I asked if he was awhile ago. Thanks for posting...thats awesome. what about James Dean I wonder too....

[CherubimII]

I meant to write:
"Proof that Michael Is a Marilyn Monroe Fan"
Unlike the media I don't won't to ever refer to
Michael Jackson in the past tense.:better:

[xthunderx2]

That does not surprise me....I am sure that he liked her acting ability AND her curvaceous look. Gotta love that Michael..:)

[prismsagainst5live]

oh of course he's a fan, she has a nice butt for sure :lol:

[blue_eyed_belle]

oh of course he's a fan, she has a nice butt for sure :lol:

hehehe! :lol: too true!

[suzynyc]

I'm sure he also admired her glamour, beauty and uniqueness. She too had childlike qualities.

[HarleyQuinn]

In the Aphrodite Jones book while she described what he had in his house, there was a mention of Marilyn.

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

yeah he had a poster of her in his bedroom, i mean

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

To me marilyn was adorable, soooo beautiful, women of that era were different,

and Lisa Marie looks like one of those Pin Up women, you know, shorty, all curvie, blue eyed, she looks like a pin up girl (At the time she was with Michael) now she is pretty but doesnt look that much as a golden hollywood actress as she used too.(still pretty though)

[Courtney]

I kinda always figured he was a fan of Marilyn Monroe. Just a feeling.
Very nice. :)

I love these pictures. She was beautiful and glamorous.

Yep, I have seen a photo of his books and he had a lot of books on Marylin (also on the Beatles/Lennon and Elvis). Also lots of black history books. But the most books he had on Walt Disney.

[MJstarlight]

Thanks for posting this. She is beautiful :)

[adry_mjj]

:yes:

[CherubimII]

ENJOY, MICHAEL!!

I never read a book about Marilyn. :doh: I know that Randy Taraborrelli recently wrote a biography about her. I'm curious to read.

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

She was stunningly beautiful.... no wonder Michael was a fan.

[Beleuza Brazil]

I didn't know that but it doesn't surprised me

[*Little Suzie*]

It didn't suprise me.. I already knew it. Michael and Marilyn is one of the two people I really love :)..

[Dutchie]

I'm not surprised. She was blonde, gorgeous, and an old hollywood star with style and grace. I've been a fan for years. I absolutely love Marilyn.

[MJsPYT1]

oh really? I wanna read this!

[Ashtanga]

Yes.... This is the cover of the book:

[suzynyc]

That's a beautiful cover.

I've only read one book about Marilyn, "Marilyn" by Norman Mailer. I believe it was originally published in the early 70's. I read the paperback which belonged to my mother.

This cover is wonderful. :wild: I love to read this book, but I think today it is impossible to find it to buy. :lol:

[Dutchie]

When you read the book keep in mind who wrote it and take it with a grain of salt.

[suzynyc]

And it has nice photos in it too. You're right. I think the book is out of print now, even in paperback. But there are used copies on Ebay.

[smile4mj]

There's something about the old hollywood glamour. The ladies back then were all so beautiful. I adored Audrey Hepburn the most because of her elegance. Marilyn Monroe was very pretty too. She was a very beautiful glamorous blonde. It is good to know Michael liked her. Elizabeth Taylor is another. It's very hard to see these kind of women nowadays.

You've read the book?

Thanks! I was curious and I'll try to find that book in ebay.

[michaeljacksonkingofpop]

I'm not surprised. I've been a Marilyn fan for a long time and once, I had a feeling that Michael was a fan of hers! She's such a great singer, actress, is absolutely beautiful and sweet.

[Topflux]

Too sexy for Michael. Michael loved more like girls from the neighbor.

[michaeljacksonkingofpop]

I had a feeling Michael was a fan of Marilyn. What's not to like about her? She was beautiful, sweet and had childlike qualities in her heart like Michael!

[ishmj]

on the shoulder line there is the initial CTE

yes, there is. i saw it on youtube, and i was happy to know he liked Marilyn too.

i just hope i can still find that video.

he was visiting sick children, in that video.

[ishmj]

btw, the Monroe name on his shirt was all CAPS.

MONROE

so one can clearly read it. a little smaller than the CTE logo. it's positioned on his left chest. like the pocket area.

[The Healer]

Marylin was so gorgeous. And misunderstood like Michael.
She was too beautiful and kind for her time. She ended tragicaly and too soon, just like Michael. :( :(
You see a resemblance ? They say she died overdosed but there are doubts.
Good ppl go too soon.

Yes, it makes me sad and tragic end she had. :(



Off Topic > There is a book about the death of Marilyn that was written by a group of fans. They did extensive research during some years about the death of Marilyn and had access to many documents and the book was written. They conclude that she committed suicide. :( It is a great book. Look: http://www.amazon.com/DD-Group-Online-Investigation-Marilyn/dp/0595345204/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1295045033&sr=1-1

That looks like an interesting book. The MJ fans should work on something like that one day.
