American actress and pop music star Lindsay Lohan posed nude in the February 25, 2008 special double fashion issue of New York Magazine in an emulation of "The Last Sitting" photo series with Marilyn Monroe, New York News. The photographer of the historical 1962 Vogue magazine photo session with Monroe, Bert Stern, also took charge of the Lohan pictorial. In the first two days of posting the photos on their website, New York Magazine recorded a total of more than 40 million page views that subsequently crashed the site. Lohan has since been offered the opportunity to do another Monroe-themed feature for Playboy magazine.
Quotes
- "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." -Lindsay Lohan
- "I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically. I don't look at them like it's Playboy, she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother." -Dina Lohan
- "Stern should be ashamed of himself for aping such a memorable photo shoot for a 21-year-old actress whose most notable credit is Herbie Fully Loaded." -Monica Corcoran, Los Angels Times
- "Some magazines reportedly spend millions to get their hands on exclusive photos of celebrities or their babies, New York paid Stern its standard fee for such assignments–and paid Lohan nothing for her participation, according to magazine spokeswoman Lauren Starke." -Forbes.com
