Rare 1946 photograph of young Norma Jean Baker who was starting to make a name for herself in modeling and showing off the magazines she had appeared on, wearing them to cover her like clothing! She would eventually change her name to Marilyn Monroe and become the most famous actress of all time, but when this photo was taken, she was just hoping to catch on. Easily among the finest images of Monroe ever taken, this example was issued around 1960 and still has tremendous age to it! An absolutely beautiful piece of photography!
