The Sam Shaw photos of Marilyn. These were taken in the summer of 1957 when Marilyn was pregnant with Arthur Miller. The ones with the blue polka dot dress and the white top and brown beaded neckalce were taken at the Miller's enormous CT estate. The beach ones were taken at the same time in the Hamptons. The last set is Marilyn and Arthur in 1957 in Manhatten exploring the city.

I fell in love with these pics because Marilyn is at her happiest and most radient here. She exudes life and hope, even through grainy black and white shots. Also, it was these pictures that made me fall in love with Arthur Miller, or rather the relationship he and Marilyn had! I've never seen Marilyn look so natural and happy as she does in these pics with Arthur. Nor have I ever seen Arthur, who was a recluse, look so happy and comfortable in front of the camera. They seem to just fit together like a puzzle. Enjoy-
