Marilyn Monroe Is Pretty In Pink

Harold Lloyd took this saucy photo of the film star for Life Magazine in 1952. This was the first photo collab between the two, but it was not the last. A year after this, the two of them worked together once more. This time, it was for a swimsuit spread that was taken at Greenacres, his estate. Marilyn Monroe had a lot of fun with him since the estate offered her isolation, which she needed. His daughter said that she was a great house guest: “She was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.”

Teenage German Soldier In Distress After His Capture

It is difficult to look for a Second World War photo that is not emotionally charged. Take a look at this photo of a 16-year-old German soldier called Hans-Georg Henke. This was taken after the US 9th Army captured him on April 3, 1945. His parents apparently died the year before this, and the tragedy made him join the Luftwaffe to support the rest of the family. John Florea, the photographer, said that the boy had been crying and in shock. He was a young boy who felt the worst of the war, so it is understandable.
