Bert Stein, the photographer who took a series of the most sensuous pictures of Marilyn Monroe in a room of a hotel
in 1962, just days before she died. Those photos were later put in his
book, 'The Last Sitting', published with his very personal thoughts and
comments. He has just presented his demand to claim his right and
recognition of his work. 
He
sold the pictures to the magazine 'Eros', but the originals had never
been returned. According to his demand presented on Wednesday to the
Tribunal High Court in the state of New York, he never knew the images
were lost, until three individuals intended to register / patent the
rights of these. 
Now
he is claiming an indemnification or compensation of 700,000 €. As
these last photos of Marilyn Monroe are amongst the most famous and
sought after of the much imitated but never equalled actress.
