Bert Stern published The Last Sitting in 1982. The book included many of the over 2,500 images that Stern had shot, including contact sheets with images Monroe had disliked and crossed out.

In 2008 Stern shot recreations of the images used by Vogue—with actress Lindsay Lohan as the model—for the February 25, 2008 issue of New York.[1]
