Norma Jean comes to Hollywood at 19 years of age.

Marilyn Monroe's film contract began in August 1946 when she selected the stage name "Marilyn Monroe". The first name was picked by Lyon, who was reminded of Broadway star Marilyn Miller but she did not officially change her name until 1956. Known for playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s, as well as an emblem of the era's sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for a decade where her films have grossed $200 million by the time of her death in 1962. This art piece will be shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity.
