The photo shoot was commissioned by Vogue magazine in late June 1962, taking place over three daily sessions, just six weeks before she died. In einer dreitägigen Session, die für die amerikanische Vogue arrangiert worden war und im Juni 1962 im Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles stattfand, entstanden fast 2700 Mode-, Portrait- und Aktaufnahmen, von denen damals kaum mehr als 20 veröffentlicht wurden. The book included many of the over 2,500 images that Stern had shot, including contact sheets with images Monroe had disliked and crossed out. Vogue published The Last Sitting series one day after Monroe’s death, giving the public an intimate portrait of the star in the wake of tragedy.

The Russian figure skater will be stripped of any titles, awards, and prizes earned after her positive sample was collected, including Olympic medals. The three-day session yielded nearly 2,600 pictures--fashion, portrait, and nude studies--of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which no more than 20 were published.

The 12-hour photo shoot that ensued, and the following two sessions, yielded nothing short of magic; the series of 2,571 portraits revealed a Marilyn both shockingly unvarnished and utterly glamorous in wispy scarves, pink silk, birdcage veils, and an iconic black velour evening gown by Christian Dior.
