New pictures of Monroe unveiled 50 years after her death

Marilyn Monroe's fragility is clearly evident in this photograph taken by Philippe Halsman in 1952

Marilyn Monroe's fragility is clearly evident in this photograph taken by Philippe Halsman in 1952

She's an icon whose photograph was taken thousands of times, which is why previously unpublished shots of Marilyn Monroe are still making it into the public domain some 50 years after her death.

These newly-released shots feature in a new book, Marilyn By Magnum, that has been published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the film icon's tragic death.

Shot in her apartment in 1952, the personal frames were taken by renowned photographer Philippe Halsman.

In the pictures Marilyn's fragility is clearly evident as she poses in a sheer chiffon pink suit.

Also prominent is the late actress' natural beauty and her famous blonde curls and curvy figure.

As she stares into the camera in one of the shots she gives off an air of vulnerability.

While in another she sits on the floor, staring wistfully into the distance.
