The Original Sex Symbol

History Daily

Marilyn Monroe will forever go down in history as the very first sex symbol in Hollywood. Aside from being the very first face to pose on the front of Playboy Magazine, Norma Jean Baker, which is her real name, never shied away from a challenge, even if that meant showing off too much skin. This particular photo of a stunning Marilyn in pink was taken and published in Life Magazine in the home of silent film star, Harold Lloyd, where she was staying as their house guest. Think what you want about her but Lloyd’s own daughter shared, “She was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.”
