Thursday, March 29th, 2012 Looking at these photographs of Marilyn Monroe , its evident that no one will come even close to her. Favorites of ours like Michelle Williams ( My Week With Marilyn ) even pale in comparison. We wont even get into that other Monroe enthusiast, Lindsay Lohan . Just, no . The pictures that you see of the late actress above and below in the gallery are being put up for auction day after tomorrow at Juliens Auctions. The real selling point, other than its Marilyn Monroe, is that the photographs have never been seen before! The set was taken by the makeup artist, Allan Whitey Snyder , who was a very close friend of Marliyns and someone she trusted implicitly. Thats why shes so relaxed and in such a playful mood in some of them. We cant stop looking at them! She was just 27 at the time of the photographs were taken. Any estimates as to high the bids will go? [Photos: Splash News Online ] Related: Playboy Is Really Pushing This Lindsay Lohan/Marilyn Monroe Thing...
