The last photos of the screen icon Marilyn Monroe is up for grabs! Jazz legend Buddy Greco is conducting the auction of the last ever seen photos of the damsel.

The four ultra-rare pictures Marilyn Monroe is taken at the Cal Neva resort in Nevada. She was alive only for five more days after taking these pictures. Out of shot, a tanned Frank Sinatra is looking on. The pictures were taken as Monroe relaxed at Lake Tahoe where Greco and Sinatra were performing.

Marilyn Monroe had her controversial death in August 1962. Monroe died from an overdose of barbiturates. There are only six photos out of the 36 last photos. The others were kept in a vault in the World Trade Center and were destroyed in the 9/11 attacks.

Greco has put the prints - four of Monroe and two of Sinatra - up for auction, with a starting bid of 7,500 dollars. They are expected to raise many thousands of pounds.
