Early Marilyn Monroe photos sell for more than $300,000 at auction, Gaga dress goes for $31K

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. Copyrights and images from Marilyn Monroes first photo shoot sold for $352,000 at an auction that included items from Lady Gaga and John Lennon.

Juliens Auctions spokeswoman Caroline Galloway tells The Associated Press on Sunday that the Monroe photos taken in 1946 when she was still Norma Jeane Dougherty were the highlight of the Beverly Hills auction known as Icons & Idols

The photos come with negatives and the rare right to sell and distribute them. A judge in September ruled they must be auctioned to settle debts of photographer Joseph Jasgur.

A Lady Gaga dress sold for $31,250, and the prop gun used in her video for Born This Way went for $7,680.

A 1969 caricature John Lennon drew of himself and Yoko Ono went for $90,000.
