New York magazine got itself a sure seller this week. Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is nude — as in freckles, nipples and tattoo — in a color photo spread recreating Bert Stern's famous 1962 "last photo shoot" of Marilyn Monroe. Lohan, Stern and team snuck into the Hotel Bel Air on February 5 to shoot the images. She tells Amanda Fortini, the Los Angeles-based writer of the accompanying story:
"I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor....[snip]
“I was comfortable with it,” the actress remarked of the nudity (though she did confess to doing “250 crunches” the previous night).
The magazine has a revealing slide show up now and says it will post web-only outtakes of Stern's photos on Wednesday.
