As Marilyn Monroe’s 50th death anniversary draws closer, a number of things that had never been known about her have come to the limelight.

The sex siren preferred to go naked, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Among female studio employees - wardrobe mistresses, hairdressers, make-up artists – the late screen icon often went without clothes.

She gave interviews in the nude and often went out wearing nothing under the black mink that her second husband Joe DiMaggio had given her.
