Marilyn Monroe<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s time behind-the-scenes of the 1953 film, \u201cNiagara,\u201d was captured by a photographer, and his huge set of photographic negatives is up for grabs \u2026 but it won\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The pics \u2014 227 total, 198 of which depict Marilyn \u2014 were snapped by Canadian journalist and photog Jock Carroll<\/strong> in 1952, while she was preparing for her first top billing as Rose Loomis in the noir thriller.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The set of photos is mostly comprised of black-and-white negatives but includes some color positive transparencies. And, along with shots of Monroe, there are several of the sets, scenery and of course \u2026 Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n The negatives could become much more than just a collector\u2019s item too \u2026 because they include the copyright to the images. Carroll signed the rights over to his son before he died, and the son will grant them to the buyer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n This means the highest bidder at the auction will have the right to print and even sell copies from the negatives, which could lead to big bucks. Commercial use requires permission from Monroe\u2019s estate, however.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n Regardless, whoever ultimately gets their hands on the MM pics will have to drop a lot of cash \u2026 the folks at RR Auction<\/strong><\/a> say they\u2019re expected to haul in around $50,000.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
