In the second week of June 1962, Marilyn Monroe began working, with photojournalist George Barris, on a cover story for Cosmopolitan magazine. The idea behind the project, suggested by Barris, was:

''What was Marilyn's future now that she was turning thirty-six? The title of the film she was working on, Something's Got to Give, could well apply to her career. Could she at thirty-six continue to play sexy, beautiful young women?''

From June 9 until July 18 the photographer had taken a group of indoor and outdoor shots of Marilyn, including a series at Santa Monica beach and he had interviewed the star at length for the Cosmo story and for a book about her life, they planned on putting together...

Marilyn:

'As far as I'm concerned, the happiest time of my life is now. There's a future, and I can't wait to get to it. It should be interesting.''



George Barris:'
'It was around 7:30 P.M., Friday, July 13, 1962 when i took the last picture of her ever on that beach. At the end of that same day i lost one of my shoes when a huge wave came and took it away. I asked her, ''What do i do with one shoe? ''The ocean apparently needs it more than you do,'' she said, and with that, both of us barefoot, we left Santa Monica beach forever."
