BRENTWOOD, Calif., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Allan Grant, a photographer whose riveting photos graced the pages of Life magazine, has died in Brentwood, Calif., at the age of 88.
Grant's wife Karin said the noted photographer, known in part for having the last photo shoot with film star Marilyn Monroe before her death, had died from Parkinson's-related pneumonia, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
While Grant gained some notoriety for photographing the "Some Like It Hot" star, he also earned a strong reputation for photographing atom bomb tests and Academy Awards ceremonies.
Grant also photographed Marina Oswald, wife of notorious assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, shortly after her husband shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
The Times said Grant, who died Feb. 1, is survived by his wife; a daughter, two sons and three grandchildren.
