Notably Marilyn Monroe's first modeling photo! Exceptional black & white photo of an 18-year-old Norma Jeane was taken by an Army photographer named David Conover, while he was visiting the Radio Plane Company where Norma Jeane worked. After she was given this photo by Conover, Marilyn, unsatisfied with the photo, outlined her lips in pencil to make them look fuller. Contrast is exceptional, photo is EX. LOA from Marilyn's foster sister, Eleanor "Bebe" Goddard. Essentially, this was once the property of Marilyn Monroe.
