2012-08-07 96 Dailymotion

Fifty years after her untimely death in 1962, Marilyn Monroe is still one of the most enduring icons of all time.<br/> <br />And the famed star still draws a crowd - even in Warsaw, Poland where 60 of her unpublished photographs were put together in an exhibit titled 'Marilyn Monroe's Hollywood.'<br/> <br />The collection of almost 3800 images were shot by celebrity photographer Milton Greene.<br/> <br />They ended up in Poland in 1995 as part of a settlement in a legal case involving a U.S. businessman.<br/> <br />But that history didn't scare away Polish fans who were excited to be among the first to see the rare pictures.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Exhibition Viewer, Agnieszka, Saying (Polish)<br/> <br />"It's fantastic that this collection is in Poland. It came here because of an affair which has negative connotations, but this is the positive side of it."<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Exhibition Viewer, Jolanta Kora, Saying (Polish)<br/> <br />"It's very nice, I think Milton Greene captured Marilyn the best out of all photographers."<br/> <br />The exhibit is open to the public for about a month until the whole collection will be sold at auction.
