Norma Jeane Baker was a diligent factory worker in 1945 when she was photographed by army photographer David Conover. He took a series of pictures about the beautiful women in factories working for the army. Soon there was less one beauty in the production - Norma left to work as a photo model. And a year later, she changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, retrained as an actress and changed her hair.
The girl quickly gained popularity, she was sexy, charming, so that thousands of eyes followed her day and night. There is even a legend that when she wanted to remain unrecognized, she put on a brunette wig and calmly walked around the city, and if necessary introduced herself as Zelda Zork.
