1955 New York City Marilyn

Groovy History

Regardless of where you find Marilyn Monroe, she has been and will always be, the captivating sex symbol of her time. This photo was taken in the year 1955, and Marilyn was in New York. She had just starred in the movie The Seven Year Itch, and her career was soaring. Although at the time, Marilyn was seen only as a sexy pinup girl, she was very serious about her craft and honing her acting skills. She had even studied at the Actor’s Studio under Lee Strasberg, who also took her seriously, unlike many others that just saw her as the hot blonde. Strasberg even went as far as saying that she was one of the ‘greatest actors he ever taught.’
