More information
1961-62 arbetade Nygårds som assistent till den amerikanske fotografen Bert Stern. En junidag 1962 befann de sig i Los Angeles för att ta bilder på Marilyn Monroe på uppdrag av Vogue Magazine. Uppdraget innebar en fyra dagar lång fotosession på Bel Air Hotel. Då Monroe vid den här tiden höll på att spela in filmen "Something's got to give" där hon porträtterade en svensk tjänstekvinna var hon intresserad av att Nygårds skulle öva uttal med henne. Eftersom de båda kom bra överens så gjorde Monroe ett undantag och lät honom ta en nakenbild av henne. Hon bestämde sceneriet och tillfället, Nygårds fick fånga ögonblicket och bilden blev spontan. Enligt uppgifter från Gary Cole, bildredaktör på Playboy, så är detta den sista bild av Monroe som togs av en professionell fotograf.
