Thanks for sharing these. I've never seen them before.

Shot by the famous photographer Richard Avedon in 1981. Here's a "backstory" to the photoshoot that I found. I want to be the snake...

There’s also the easily missed detail that is the cherry on the cake when seen in person. After two hours of trying to coax the snake to move all the way up Kinski’s body, the crew were growing impatient. All of a sudden, it began to glide its way across her curves and up to her head. As Avedon whispered to Kinski, “this is it!” the snake bared its fangs before flicking out its tongue, as if leaning in to kiss its 20th-century Eve. “It was magical, completely magical,” says Mellen. “When the snake kissed her and the tongue went into her ear, that was it. The shoot was over.”
