Naked Lindsay Lohan Marilyn Monroe Photos: Lindsay Lohan Naked New York Magazine Spring 2008
A naked Lindsay Lohan teamed up with the Spring 2008 Fashion Issue of New York Magazine to recreate screen siren Marilyn Monroe’s last photoshoot. Photos NSFW After The Jump.
In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot a series of photos of Marilyn Monroe that have collectively come to be known as “The Last Sitting.” Taken during several boozy sessions at the Hotel Bel-Air, the photographs are arguably the most famous images ever captured of America’s most famous actress: Monroe, sleepy-eyed and naked, sips from a Champagne glass, enacts a fan dance of sorts with various diaphanous scarves, romps with erotic playfulness on a bed of white linens. Six weeks after she had posed, Monroe was found dead of an apparent barbiturate overdose.
The photos endure partly as artifacts—as the last visible evidence of the living woman (a legacy reinforced by Stern’s decision to publish the contact sheets Monroe herself had crossed out in red marker). But the pictures are also remarkable for the raw truths they seem to reveal. In them, we see an actress whose comedic talents were overshadowed by her sex appeal, a woman who is cannily aware of her pinup status, yet is also beginning to show her 36 years. In many shots, she is obviously drunk.
This was an unhappy time for Monroe. Notorious for her on-set antics, she had been publicly lambasted by Billy Wilder after Some Like It Hot, then fired from the production of Something’s Got to Give; she’d endured two recent divorces and, in 1961, a brief stint in a psychiatric ward.
Stern excavated and preserved the poignant humanity of the real woman—beautiful, but also fragile, needy, flawed—from the monumental sex symbol. In our armored, airbrushed age, his achievement feels almost revolutionary.
Forty-six years later, Stern has revisited his classic shots with Lindsay Lohan, another actress whose prodigious fame is not quite commensurate with her professional achievements. Stern, who shot the photos on film rather than digitally, told me he was interested in Lohan because he suspected “she had a lot more depth to her” than one might assume from “those teenage movies.” Indeed, many in the film industry believe that Lohan has yet to pursue projects equal to her gifts. Without putting too fine a point on it, you might say Lohan has, like Monroe, a knack for courting the tabloids and tripping up her career. (Readers will remember that Lohan had her own Billy Wilder moment two summers ago on the set of Georgia Rule.) Stern said the project also grew out of his interest in “controversial women,” or “bad girls,” like “Britney, Paris, and Lindsay.” Monroe was, in a sense, the original tabloid queen.

I agree with perfectvision. While lindsay may be attractive, she is way too skinny for this kid. Girls gots to have some meat on them, not saying I love the plumpers, although big girls need love too, but she has nothing on marilyn monroe.

I have to agree with me and perfectvision, except the part about Lindsey being the prettiest person in hollywood at one time(I’m a dude). Great titties, but she is ugly now. I’m thinkin, what if they could have got like Scarlett Johansson or someone like that who’s beautiful with some great boobs too(and would actually be nude like Lindsey), and would have been a better tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Still, it’s nice to see those titties lol.

Although these pictures are not meant to replace the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe, they are still beautiful. They are meant to show feminine sexuality that all woman have. Lindsay and Stern do a good job to encompass the idea that woman can be beautiful, regardless of their flaws, which is what Marilyn spent her life trying to show. But, instead of criticizing Lindsay because of her obvious mistakes, try to appreciate the art and beauty being shown. Ignore your biases and then look at the pictures, that is the point.

That’s a good ideal and all, Laura, but the fact of the matter still remains that this is pretty much just a crazy, ugly bitch. I liked her a while ago, and if she still looked like she used to and wasn’t crazy as hell, I’d love these photos.
To try to demonstrate that all women have this feminine sexuality and beauty regardless of flaws, they could have picked a much better specimen, and that’s not just talking about her looks. See, it’s alright to have flaws and such, but after you’ve gone on such a downhill streak and just have changed so very much from something beautiful to something detestable, it’s hard to see any beauty whatsoever.
