Marilyn Monroe Is Pretty In Pink

Harold Lloyd captured this sweet image of a movie star for Life Magazine in 1952. This was the first photo collaboration between the two, but it was far from the last. After a year, the two of them collaborated once again. It was for the spread of a swimsuit taken out at his estate, Greenacres, this time. Marilyn Monroe had a lot of fun with him because the estate provided her with the solitude she required. His daughter said, “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’s rare to come across a WWII photograph that isn’t emotionally charged. Take a look at this photo of a 16-year-old German soldier named Hans-Georg Henke. After being captured by the US 9th Army on April 3, 1945, this photo was taken. His parents had died the previous year, prompting him to join the Luftwaffe in order to help support the rest of his family. The boy was crying and shocked, according to the photographer, John Florea. Because he was a young boy who lived through the worst of the war, it’s understandable.
