The Weekly News is a British national newspaper founded in 1855 and published every Thursday by the Dundee newspaper chain DC Thomson. Billed as “the paper with the feelgood factor,” it had been in production since 1855, and contained news and features on a broad range of subjects.
Sadly however, the paper is saying its final goodbye and Marilyn graces the front cover alongside the likes of Doris Day and Elvis Presley.

The nine photographs of Monroe, taken between 1945 and 1953 show the icon in various poses, from frolicking at the beach, wrapped up on a winters day and lounging around the Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles.
