Early Photographs Of Marilyn Monroe Taken Before Her Worldwide Fame Are Set To Fetch Thousands At Auction



In 1946, a talented photographer Richard C. Miller invited a pinup of the American Armed Forces to pose for him in a photo shoot. He didn’t yet know, though, that his 19-year-old model Norma Jeane Dougherty would eventually become world’s most iconic sweetheart – Marilyn Monroe.

Years later, Richard commented how, as he was photographing then brunette Norma, he had no idea those images would become so valuable. For him, “she was just a sweet, attractive girl with a lot of ambitions.”

His entire collection, valued at approximately between $60,000 and $80,000, is set to be auctioned at Santa Monica Auctions on 7th October. One of the highlights of the auctioned photographs will be Marilyn wearing a wedding dress from her first marriage.
