[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 863817, member: 11768"]I does indeed seem the conversation has been diverted from this posts original meaning, the magazine itself. But if I may make a statement regarding all said about the photos chatted about. My statement made about a photographer’s poor taste may have been a bit generalized, I had been referring to the statement made initially about the photographer gaining access by bribing morgue guards & taking photos. Second I am somewhat aware of the history of the postmortem photos and definitely had seen them from a piece of literature in 1986, and again that same year I had seen the “headshot” in a memoir by Lena Peppitone (Marilyn’s maid/housekeeper/assistant) this was in the first edition printing made in 1979. Anyways, I guess anyone’s account could be taken as the definitive history. I am just referring to to history I’m aware of. I hope that was acceptable of me to say.[/QUOTE]
