Marilyn Monroe’s final photos are at the center of a legal battle after a well-known auction house posted them on the internet — while making nearly $1 million off the allegedly stolen negatives. Bert Stern’s famous three-day photo session with Monroe — done six weeks before she was found dead on Aug. 4, 1962 — became known as “The Last Sitting” and included sultry images of the star lounging on a bed with nothing but a white sheet and a glass of wine.
