The images, which were taken by Joseph Jasgur in 1946 when the screen icon was still known by her married name Norma Jeane Dougherty, were the “highlight” of the Icons & Idols collection.
Jasgur’s photos along with their copyrights went under the hammer at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills on Sunday (04Dec11) to settle the photographer’s debts.
Other items auctioned off in the sale included a Lady Gaga dress that went for $31,250 (£19,531), as well as a prop gun used in the singer’s Born This Way video for $7,680 (£4,800).
