BoomerD, this one from LIFE magazine just kicked all your photos butt.

Mosh, if you'll notice, the pics in the link I posted, predate the Life story by quite a bit...and were taken by one of the Life photographers. (but yes, those are fabulous pics...she was drop-dead gorgeous)

In the fall of 1948, Marilyn Monroe had just a few roles in box office flops on her resume -- but LIFE photographer J. R. Eyerman apparently saw enough of a glimmer in the 22-year-old starlet to follow her through the showbiz training that promised to make her big. The incredible -- and seldom seen -- images in this gallery are the first a LIFE photographer ever took of Monroe, though the magazine did not publish them at the time. (In fact, she wouldn't show up in LIFE's pages until October 1949, along with seven other then-unfamiliar Hollywood "girls").

She was ridiculously hot, based on what I've seen.
