Italian magazine marks end of Monroe era.
This otherwise unremarkable issue of the Italian magazine Epoca has two things going for it—a cover featuring Marilyn Monroe, and a six-page interior spread featuring some rare photos. It appeared as a tribute issue today in 1963, more or less a year after Monroe had died. The cover text boasts of having found her personal photo album. We can’t confirm that, but the photos are indeed ones we see less often than others of Monroe. That is, if “less often” even applies when talking about probably the most photographed woman in cinema history. Eight scans below.
