The movie, River of No Return may be forgotten by most, but Marilyn Monroe is still fondly remembered.

She was in Banff to shoot the film in August of 1953.

Now never before published photos of that time are in a new book, Marilyn, August 1953: The Lost LOOK Photos.

There are posed photos and candids of Monroe at the Banff Springs Hotel and around Banff.

Dave Moberg, the Banff Springs historian and guest relations manager has his own photo album of that time and stories to go with it.

"She was very, very nice. One on one she wasn't pretentious at all," he says.

Monroe had sprained her ankle during shooting in Jasper and twisted it again at Bow Falls when she arrived in town August 21st, 1953.

She was on crutches for her entire Banff stay.

"For the next eight days in the lobby of the Banff Springs Hotel each morning ,the bell boys would flip a coin to see who'd be the lucky one to wheel her around in that wheelchair,' says Moberg.

Banff and Jasper are prominently displayed in the book and that can only be positive news for the tourism industry.

"The fact that Marilyn loved to work and play here, have some fun here was wonderful for us back then and I think it'll be wonderful for us again today as people now revisit some of those great experiences," says Kurt Schroeder with Banff/Lake Louise tourism.

Moberg says people call and ask to stay in the room Marilyn did more than five decades ago, but the hotel won't say which room it is.

The photos were taken by LOOK magazine photographer John Vachon and had been archived at a museum in Washington, D.C.

The magazine originally printed only two of them.
