 Lindsay Lohan: Recreates nude Monroe photo shoot
Lindsay Lohan, the 21-year-old star of "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" has posed nude for a new photo shoot that attempts to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s ‘The Last Sitting.’ Lindsay Lohan’s photos will be published in the latest issue of New York Magazine. She is featured wearing little more than a short blonde wig.
Lindsay Lohan teamed up with photographer Bert Stern, who shot Monroe’s last photo shoot in 1962. Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her L.A. home on August 5, 1962. She died after an apparent drug overdose. Those images for Vogue magazine feature Monroe in next to nothing, posing nude with some scarves and jewelry as her accessories and sipping champagne.
Lohan, who admitted to a serious interest in Monroe, said deciding to do the photo shoot was easy.
Lindsay Lohan said, “If you saw my house, I have a lot of Marilyn stuff. It’s eerie because it’s this picture of her, and it’s kind of cartoony, and there’s a big bottle of pills next to her, and they’ve fallen over,
Lohan described Monroe's suicide as "tragic" and said it, along with the Jan. 22 death of actor Heath Ledger from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, "are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone."
Bert Stern told The Associated Press that he found women like Lohan and her tabloid companions Paris Hilton and Britney Spears "interesting." He said Monday, "They're girls that draw attention to their notoriety and their celebrity through their behavior".
He said he thought the photo shoot would be good for the young actress, giving her the chance to portray herself as a grown-up. He also lauded her for her willingness to do it in the nude. He thought Lindsay Lohan was natural, not at all squeamish. |
