«Breaking News» Candid photos of Marilyn Monroe go on display at London gallery

Stunning rare photographs of Marilyn Monroe relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine have gone on display at a London gallery. 

The selection of candid photographs of Marilyn, some which have never been seen before, were taken by young assignment photographer Ed Feingersh in 1955.

Feingersh was commissioned to document a week in the life of the actress at a pivotal moment in her career - when she was attempting to move away from the airhead actress image.

They were taken as she went about her daily routine during a week in March 1955 in New York City.   

Marilyn was preparing for two public appearances that week - the opening night of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Morosco Theatre and a charity event that she was part of in Madison Square Gardens, at which she appeared on a pink elephant.

Marilyn's short but stellar life - she died in 1962 at the age of 36 - saw her make 29 films, pose for countless photographers and even sing on stage for the U.S. President.

But in these surprisingly intimate black and white shots, a far cry from her usual glamorous shots, Marilyn appears to be totally relaxed and at ease.

In one, she enjoys a glass of wine, in another she reads the newspaper, and in another she mischievously peeps at the camera as she attempts to blend in at New York's subway.

The photos go on display today at Gallerie Prints in Wimbledon  in a unique collaboration with the prestigious Getty Images Archive & Gallery London. 

A Week With Marilyn opens at Wimbledon's Galerie Prints, in collaboration with the Getty Images Archive and Gallery London.

A preview is being held today, on February 15, and runs until March 30 2019.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
