Marilyn Monroe Is Pretty In Pink

In 1952, Harold Lloyd photographed the movie star for Life Magazine. This was their first photo collaboration, but it would not be their last. After a year, the two of them collaborated once more. This time, it was for a swimsuit spread shot on his estate, Greenacres. Marilyn Monroe had a lot of fun with him because the estate provided her with the privacy she required. His daughter said that she was a great house guest: “She was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.”

Teenage German Soldier In Distress After His Capture

It’s difficult to find a photograph from WWII that isn’t emotionally charged. Take a look at this photo of Hans-Georg Henke, a 16-year-old German soldier. This photo was taken on April 3, 1945, after being captured by the US 9th Army. His parents had died the year before, prompting him to enlist in the Luftwaffe to help support the rest of his family. The photographer, John Florea, said the boy was crying and shocked. It’s understandable because he was a young boy who experienced the worst of the war.
