The glamour photos are part of a public auction on March 26 and March 27 by Profiles in History as part of the Michael H. Epstein and Scott E. Schwimer Collection.
One of the photographs, the color one, is valued at $400 to $600.
Len says when she walked into his SoHo, New York photography studio, it was a first: “It’s the only photo shoot I’ve ever done with a celebrity where the stylist brought only one dress, one set of pearls, one set of earrings and one boa.” He says most celebrities come with racks of clothes, three stylists, assistants and bodyguards.
