Marilyn Monroe, 1952
This photo of Marilyn Monroe was captured by silent film actor Harold Lloyd and was featured in Life Magazine. Lloyd’s daughter said of Monroe: “She was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.”
