428Kviews
The photos were taken in 1950 with a still unknown Marilyn, by a Life Magazine photographer Ed Clark, at the suggestion of a friend of 20th Century Fox telling of the new hiring of the studios.
“I sent several rolls to LIFE in New York, but they wired back, ‘Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?” – Ed Clark.
No one at that time could have even imagined how iconic Marilyn will become.

omfg "natural" SHE HAS MAKEUP.
So what? The author was referring to the poses, the lack of artificial lighting, the surroundings...
Are her curves and her body also covered in makeup?? Because there's more to beauty than the face.
Agreed, but body makeup is used in photography and film as much as facial makeup.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
