LIFE has released new photos today of Marilyn Monroe -- on what would have been the starlet's 83rd birthday. The 1950 images were photographed by Ed Clark; the never-before-published negatives were discovered in LIFE's effort to digitize its vast archive.

Dressed in a shorts and light-colored shirt, she stands with her hands on her hips and her legs astride a pair of rocks on either side of a very small waterfall.

Check out the black-and-white images of the fresh-faced style-icon-in-training above, taken in 1950. We love the natural influences -- the creek, the sunlight peeking through the leaves -- and simple, straight-on shots. She looks so young and innocent, you'd guess she was still "Norma Jean," but the her monogrammed "MM" shirt indicates otherwise. (Plus, those high-waisted shorts are to die for.)

There are tricks that actresses and super models use that keep them looking young and wrinkle free for their close-ups. As a former model I'll share a couple of their insider secrets with you.

For long term smooth, healthy looking skin it's Caracol Cream http://cli.gs/AgeDefyingCaracol If you go to that web site and read about the ingredients in Caracol Cream you'll see why it is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and giving the skin an amazingly healthy appearance.

Many of them also use BeautyLift. http://trulyflawlessskin.com/ It is the most potent doctor grade wrinkle erasing system available. Using Beauty Lift can prevent wrinkles as well as significantly reduce the wrinkles you currently have

For cellulite problems they use BodySolution http://cli.gs/BestCelluliteSolution a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

Those are such beautiful photos where she looked peaceful and happy. I don't think we'll ever know what she ever went threw; so much has been covered up.

I think she was a lost soul and hope she has found peace.
