New, never-before-seen photos of Marilyn Monroe

New, never-before-seen photos have been released today of Marilyn Monroe -- on what would have been the starlet's 83rd birthday.

Portrait of American actress Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1962) at a photo shoot in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California, August 1950. She wears a light-colored shirt upon which is embroidered the letters "MM.'

Gorgeous black-and-white images of the fresh-faced style-icon-in-training above, taken in 1950. We love the natural influences -- the creek, the sunlight peeking through the leaves -- and simple, straight-on shots. She looks so young and innocent, you'd guess she was still "Norma Jean," but the her monogrammed "MM" shirt indicates otherwise. (Plus, those high-waisted shorts are to die for.)
