1948 Vintage studio photograph of Marilyn Monroe from one of her first ever films, while still a bit-part actress, in the Columbia Pictures release of "Ladies of the Chorus." One of her earliest we have ever seen, this is by photographer Irving Lipmann and in great condition. Images of Marilyn from this film often show her from the side or in a huge group with this example capturing her in action and showing off her acting chops! A true rarity among early Marilyn images and this dates to a 1952 re-release of the film to capitalize on Marilyn's growing popularity, but it still fits within our range for a Vintage 1 example.
