1954 Photograph of Marilyn Monroe as she entertains the troops in Korea and sends the boys into a frenzy wearing a skin tight dress. Every soldier seems to be enjoying himself and many have their cameras out to memorialize the event. Issued by the United Press and stamped on the back, this is just outside the five year window for a "vintage 1" at about six years later, but issued during Marilyn's lifetime. A clear and bold original off the photographers negative and a great deal as it is a sixty year old example that exhibits crystal clarity.
