Lindy
Harper - American Icon
In 1953, when the movie studio first learned that the
nude pinup hanging in gas stations from coast to coast
was none other than its rising star – it was something
of a scandal. The press assailed the blonde bombshell
with questions. Was it true she had posed with nothing
on? Nothin' on but the radio, she replied with
a guileless giggle. It was taken in a cramped Los Angeles
studio on May 27, 1949.
Neither professional photographer Tom
Kelley nor the nude 22-year-old blonde posing sensuously
before his lens could have realized what was about to
happen. That next click of Kelley's camera shutter
began a love affair, one the world still perpetuates
and eagerly embraces. Marilyn Monroe, the sex symbol
of the modern age, was born. The two-hour session produced
the immortal photos A New Wrinkle and Golden Dreams,
photos that sold millions of calendars worldwide and
launched Marilyn into the hearts of countless fans.
We trust you and your friends will enjoy our modern
e-card tribute to this gorgeous icon. Retrotica Girls
