Black and white photographs of Marilyn Monroe in the Hawaii airport on her way to her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio in Tokyo. The photographs were taken by a photographer who was tipped off that Monroe and DiMaggio were waiting in a secluded area of the airport. He and a friend, who was stationed in Hawaii with the Navy, went to photograph the newlyweds. The photographer gave the photographs he could not use to the friend, who kept them in his photo book of his time during the war and has consigned them here. Presumably these photographs were never released for print. Monroe's thumb is bandaged, and some have accused DiMaggio of inflicting the injury. Largest, 9 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
