Note to YouTube: If this video is flagged as inappropriate, due to the vintage playboy centerfold, know that it was declared a work of art in Marilyn's lifetime, and is deemed acceptable for national network television.The body is a work of art! In 1946 at the age of 19, Norma Jeane Dougherty signed with the Blue Book Modeling Agency. It didn't take long for her to become a "smash hit". Norma graced over 300 magazine covers, appeared in numerous magazine ads and on billboards. She also became a popular Earl Moran Pinup Girl. Photographs of Norma Jeane were later used as the first Playboy Magazine Centerfold in 1953.Norma Jeane would go on to become the Iconic Movie Star Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe's example helped us perceive feminine sexuality as innocent, playful, and strong. Later women such as Britney Spears would be inspired by her, although they tend to be more 'naughty' than nice.

Nov 19, 2008 - Beautiful choice of Norma Jeane and young MM pics. Hollywodd "perfected" her a bit, but as all can see, she was a living doll right from the start.

Nov 19, 2008 - Thanks for the compliment. If by "perfected", you refer to the two dozen (or more) celebrities who have exploited Marilyn's signature look in a modern way, you're right, it's rather funny.

Nov 19, 2008 - This is very tastefully done. True ART! 60 years ago they portrayed women with more respect. 5*
