Marilyn
Image by 1950sUnlimited
In 1949 eight young Hollywood hopefuls who had thus far appeared only in bit roles, were asked to show how they would kiss, taste a drink, react to a joke, etc. This is how a 23-year-old Marilyn Monroe, making her first appearance in the magazine, looked when “seeing a monster.”
