Will they ever leave this poor woman alone?
Apparently, a settlement has been reached in the legal fight over seven nude and semi-nude photographs taken during Marilyn Monroe‘s “Last Sitting” in 1962, according to HuffingtonPost.com.
Photographer Bert Stern took 2,500 erotic shots of the infamous movie star for Vogue magazine just before her drug-overdose death that year. But last year, he was approached by two other photographers, Donald Penny and Michael Weiss, who wanted to make a deal involving seven film transparencies from the photo shoot.
Stern immediately filed a lawsuit claiming they were stolen from him, while Penny and Weiss claim a colleague of theirs found them in the garbage in Manhattan in the 1970s.
Why it took them this long to make a deal with Stern does seem a little fishy, but nonetheless the shutterbug duo’s lawyer Jamie Brickell, and Stern’s lawyer, Stephen Weingrad, said Monday the dispute was settled “amicably.” They said nine sets of photos from the transparencies will be jointly produced and sold.
