Had she lived, on Monday, Marilyn Monroe would have celebrated her 83rd birthday. In memory of her life, Life.com has published a bunch of gorgeous, never-before-seen photos of the sexy screen siren at age 24. Editors at Life believe the photos, shot by photographer Ed Clark, were taken at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California in 1950.
