In the August 3, 1962 issue, LIFE magazine ran the last interview with Marilyn Monroe. She would die only a few days after the magazine hit the stands. This image appeared (small) in the article with the caption: “On the brink of fame, Marilyn at age of 24 was catching the public’s imagination in a small, wordless part in The Asphalt Jungle.” (Ed Clark—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #thisweekinLIFE #LIFElegends
