check out lindsay lohan on this week's new york magazine cover as marylin monroe. the cover story, shot by bert stern, is based on stern's iconic last sitting from 1962, featuring marylin. surely much will be made of li-lo and her personal parallells to marylin's drug abuse story. whatever.
anyway, i have long been a fan of the book which shows an amazing range of emotion in the star, shot over several boozy sessions just prior to her suicide.
probably this is my favorite image, which i first saw on a friend's wall years ago and has made a lasting impression of the woman behind all that legend.
and as for the rest of the photos, it's easier for those of us in a (slightly) later generation to see what all the hype was about, and why so many stars today refer to her.
