Marilyn Monroe never-seen-before nude calendar pictures have found the light of day
When you
think of Marilyn Monroe, you think of a glamorous Hollywood icon. Probably
stood over a grate while her skirt blows up or schmoozing Frank Sinatra. But
even Marilyn had to start somewhere.
We cannot
confirm or deny if she was eating cold beans out of a can in a crappy studio
flat back in the early days, but we can confirm that she decided to pose naked
to make some extra cash.
The pictures
were taken by photographer Tom Kelley in 1949 at his studio in Hollywood and
22-year-old Marilyn signed the releases Mona Monroe, because she didn't anyone
to know the pictures were of her because "nice girls did not pose in the
nude."
In Marilyn:
Her Life in Her Own Words, she explained that she posed out of
pure"desperation" and earned just $50.
