Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Marilyn Monroe's sultry rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung for President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration marked the actress's last major public appearance before her mysterious death in August 1962.
Tuesday, which would have been Monroe's 84th birthday, marks the public debut of a rare image of Monroe with President Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy together after the May 19, 1962 party.
The black and white photograph, taken by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton, showed Monroe still wearing the infamously tight-fighting, sheer rhinestone-studded dress she wore when singing earlier at Madison Square Garden.
