First Marilyn pics net $352k

IMAGES from Marilyn Monroe’s first photoshoot have sold for $352,000 (€410,000) at an auction that included items from John Lennon and Lady Gaga.

Julien’s Auctions spokes-woman Caroline Galloway said the photos — taken in 1946 when she was still Norma Jeane Dougherty — were the highlight of the Beverly Hills auction known as Icons & Idols.

The photos come with negatives and the rare right to sell and distribute them.

“Jasgur’s images of a 19-year-old Norma Jeane mark the beginning of her career and offer a rare glimpse of her before she was Marilyn,” according to the official catalogue.

“These early photographs introduce a contradictory and multifaceted personality, which is now known to be characteristic of Marilyn Monroe.”

A judge in September ruled they must be auctioned to settle debts of photographer Joseph Jasgur.

A Lady Gaga dress sold for $31,250 and prop gun used in her video for Born This Way went for $7,680.

A 1969 caricature John Lennon drew of himself and Yoko Ono fetched $90,000.
