Angelina Jolie To Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Angelina Jolie began two days of meetings with Haiti earthquake victims Tuesday in her role as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. refugee agency.
The actress, representing the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, met with U.N. officials in Port-au-Prince and visited an SOS Villages camp for orphans outside the capital, where she was cheered by Haitians yelling, "Angie! Angie!"
That same camp took care of 33 Haitian children after a U.S.-based Baptist group was arrested at the Dominican border trying to take the kids out of the country. It wasn't known if Jolie spoke with any of the children, and journalists were kept at a distance throughout her visit.
The American missionaries have been accused of trying to take the children out of Haiti without proper documentation. The group says it was heading to a Dominican orphanage following Haiti's quake and had only good intentions.
Jolie also toured a Doctors Without Borders hospital in a Port-au-Prince suburb, waving to onlookers. She and husband Brad Pitt have contributed $1 million to Doctors Without Borders for its emergency medical operations in Haiti.
Jolie was meeting with Haitians employed in quake debris cleanup through a joint U.N.-U.S. Agency for International Development program before spending the night at a Brazilian military camp outside the city.
On Wednesday, Jolie planned to visit the southern city of Jacmel, a camp for people made homeless by the quake, as well as a Save the Children relief supply center before returning to Port-au-Prince and leaving for the neighboring Dominican Republic.
Jolie has previously visited Iraq, Thailand, Pakistan and other countries with UNHCR.

Unpublished photos of Marilyn Monroe surface
(CNN) -- They were taken before Marilyn Monroe became branded as the voluptuous blonde who oozed sex appeal in dozens of Hollywood films.
They were taken before rumors of an affair with President John F. Kennedy swirled and her mental breakdowns became public.
They were taken before the beautiful actress's mysterious overdose that resulted in her death at the age of 36.
In a collection discovered by Life.com last month, unpublished photographs of Monroe reveal a softer, more innocent 24-year-old budding starlet in a more peaceful time, before her fame peaked.
Her flawless face bears a natural look with minimal makeup, unusual for the star, who was often glamorized in photo shoots with lipstick, designer dresses and expensive jewelry.
Monday would have been Monroe's 83rd birthday.
In one photo, the young Monroe lies in bliss, reading on a park bench, which editors at Life.com believe was shot at Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California. In another, her face is serene as she is perched over a bridge barefoot. The shoot, which dates to 1950, was conducted by Life photographer Ed Clark.
It's a side of Monroe that the American public has rarely seen.
"She hasn't really exploded as a star, yet she was on the brink of something big," says Dawnie Walton, deputy editor at Life.com, a Web site harboring more than 7 million Life magazine photographs. The site was launched in March.

"I was amazed looking at her face. Although she looks very innocent, there is something very ... sexy."
Last month, Walton stumbled upon the rare photographs while combing through the company's digital photo archives. Apparently, no one at Life.com even knew they were ever taken.
Upon investigating the photos, Walton says, she found there were few notes left on the negatives. She says the photos were probably taken for a cover shoot that was never used. Monroe appeared on her first Life magazine cover in 1952.

"It just got lost and stowed away," Walton said. "It was just ... somewhere in a warehouse in New Jersey."
At the time the photos were shot, Monroe had her first small breakout role as a mistress in "The Asphalt Jungle." The star was better known as a model at the time, though she'd had a handful of cameos in films.
Photographer Ed Clark told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune a friend from 20th Century Fox alerted him that the studio had just signed "a hot tomato."
"She was unknown then, so I was able to spend a lot of time shooting her," Clark said. "We'd go out to Griffith Park and she'd read poetry. I sent several rolls to Life in New York, but they wired back, 'Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?' "
Photographs later in the 1950s and early 1960s would display a much more confident and sexual Monroe -- images that would become iconic in popular culture.
There is the famous photograph of a busty Monroe in a white halter dress, standing with her skirt blowing up in 1955 for her role in "The Seven Year Itch." In 1962, American photographer Bert Stern shot a tipsy, sometimes nude Monroe in a series of delicate shots that would be known as "The Last Sitting." Monroe died about six weeks later, on August 5, 1962.
Life.com staff members say there are 15 million photographs in the Life archive dating back to the late 1850s, even before Life officially began publishing in 1936. Two years ago, the publication began slowly transferring the photographs into a digital archive.
From time to time, unpublished photographs will be found that the company doesn't know existed. Other times, the photographs may have been taken but never selected to be used for publication.
Last March, to commemorate the 11th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's death, Life.com released a series of unpublished photographs of the singer. In April, Life.com released newly recovered, never-before-seen photographs of Martin Luther King Jr. taken by a Life photographer on the day King was assassinated at a Memphis, Tennessee, hotel in
تصاویر منتشر نشده از مریلین مونرو به فروش گذاشته شدند
تصاویر به فروش گذاشته شده به حدود ۵۰ سال پیش تعلق دارند
یک عکاس اهل نیویورک تصاویری منتشر نشده از مریلین مونرو، ستاره مشهور آمریکایی را پس از حدود ۵۰ سال رونمایی کرده است و قصد دارد آنها را در اینترنت به فروش برساند.
لن استکلر عکس های سیاه و سفید خود را در دسامبر ۱۹۶۱در آپارتمان خود در نیویورک از مریلین مونرو گرفته است.
خانم مونرو به آپارتمان آقای استکلر رفته بود تا با کارل سندبرگ، شاعر معروف دیدار کند.
این عکس ها که نه ماه پیش از مرگ مریلین مونرو گرفته شده، چهره ای شاد و آرام را از او به نمایش می گذارد.
مریلین مونرو، بازیگر، خواننده و مدل آمریکایی در سال ۱۹۶۲ در سن ۳۶ سالگی درگذشت.
آقای استکلر گفته است هنگامی که خانم مونرو و کارل سندبرگ ۸۳ ساله دست در دست هم، با یکدیگر صحبت می کردند، او با ذوق زدگی از آنها عکس گرفته است.
خانم مونرو در این عکس ها یک عینک آفتابی سیاه رنگ به صورت زده و پیراهنی آستین کوتاه بر تن دارد.
آقای استکلر می گوید آن روز آقای سندبرگ به او خبر داد که یک مهمان قرار است با او دیدار کند.
آقای استکلر درباره لحظه رو در رو شدن با خانم مونرو گفت: ''چند ساعت بعد هنگامی که در را باز کردم با مریلین مونرو مواجه شدم. چهره او از آن چه در تصویر تلویزیون دیده بودم، مسحور کننده تر بود.''
آقای استکلر ادامه داد: ''او به من گفت ببخشید که دیر آمدم. به آرایشگاه رفته بودم تا موهایم را مانند کارل سندبرگ درست کنم.''
لن استکلر ادامه داد: "همان طور که می دانید، مریلین مونرو از مردهای مسن خوشش می آمد، او عاشق انسان های فرهیخته بود و رفتار کارل با او بسیار پدرانه بود.''
آقای سندبرگ که از برندگان جایزه معتبر پولیتزر است، هفت سال پس از مریلین مونرو درگذشت.
لن استکلر می گوید زمانی تصمیم به فروش عکس ها گرفت که پسرش پس از سال ها این تصاویر را پیدا کرد.
