it’s always interesting to see lesser-known images of Marilyn Monroe, like these of her “hiking” in what look like the hills above Hollywood (or at least somewhere in L.A.). she would have been 24 here, and how cute is the little MM embroidered on her top? quite like seeing the ever glamorous MM with sweaty armpits, too. photographed by Edward Clark for LIFE Magazine, August 1950.

Just read an article on her attempts at poetry and how she was avid about having photographs of her reading books, because she was a bookworm herself. Thanks for sharing these photos, have never seen them.
Eternally,

oh that’s so interesting, thanks!
Meant to use the word ADAMANT and not avid. :)
This is the trail I hike everyday in Griffith Park. So cool!
Magnificent!

Love how these pictures showed another side of Marilyn we’re less familiar with. So beautiful.
