Marilyn Monroe photographed in February 1947 when she was still a young starlet. At this time she was still called Norma Jeane, and hadn’t yet undergone her Hollywood makeover. In 1950 she had rhinoplasty (a nose-job) and a chin implant on the advice of her agent who paid for the surgery. She only changed her name to Marilyn Monroe in 1956.

These are photos done in part for her role in the upcoming Marx Brothers film Love Happy. The strapless dress is the one she wore in that film. Production on that film started late summer of 1948.
She’s already had her nose job, hairline electrolysis and chin implant in these photos.
-Even at 76, I’m still drawn to Norma Jean. But then I always did love those barefoot young ladies of any age. They remind me of those childhood days on the farm growing up. Thank you for the artical.
