| To the right ---> Another possible influence. Ava Gardner in studio; photo probably taken in the 1950s. Madonna was most likely ripping off Marilyn's beach sitting with photographer George Barris, though. |

THE BLACK SITTING |
|||
|
 |
||
Above: Marilyn Monroe did an entire series of photos in the 1950s, taken by Milton Greene, which came to be known as 'The Black Sitting.' For this sitting, Monroe posed either in a 'nightie' with sheer, thigh-high hose, (as seen here), or in fishnet hose and a top hat -- and nothing else (though the hat was placed in strategic locations). |
