Marilyn Monroe has been heralded as one of the most glamorous women of the 20th century.
So it is no surprise that when the former Norma Jeane Mortenson teamed up with pinup photographer Earl Moran, the result would be anything short of stunning.
When these photographs were taken in the late 1940s, the naturally-brunette starlet was working as a model for Blue Book Modeling Agency and was paid $10 an hour for the shoot.
The images were curated byGrapefruit Moon Gallery.
