Description

Marilyn Monroe in "Love Happy" (United Artists, 1950). Portrait (8" X 10").
Vintage gelatin silver, single weight, glossy photo. Before she gained leading lady status, Marilyn Monroe sparkled in small roles, usually as the supporting glamour girl in films such as this Marx Brothers comedy. Although she is seen only briefly, Monroe's performance caught the attention of Johnny Hyde, an influential agent who would help mold Monroe's image. This soon led to an important part for the young actress, in John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle. Monroe's emerging star quality cannot be denied in this sultry portrait. Light edge wear and a few slight surface scratches do not detract from this gorgeous early image of the legend. Verso: Publicity Snipe. Very Fine+.
