[1]The only photograph showing Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe and the US President John F. Kennedy together, taken moments later she sang “Happy Birthday” for him on May 19 1962, is up for auction.
The photograph, which survived the search by Secret Service at that time, is expected to fetch $23,000 at the auction.
Monroe’s alleged affair with Kennedy has been one of the most documented stories in the history but despite all the speculation and rumour, the photograph is the only picture which shows Kennedy and Monroe together. The black and white photograph, taken by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton, shows her in the revealing, rhinestone studded dress she wore whilst singing “Happy Birthday” at Madison Square Garden in New York on May 19, 1962 at a Democratic fund raising event, the Daily Mail reported. Kennedy appears to be turning his face towards the wall and away from the camera.
