In an effort to bring something new or different to OCC....

She was still known as Norma Jean, before her breakthrough as Marilyn Monroe.
This was definately NOT mainstream, even though Norma Jean became MM. It
didn't surface until well after her death. Its from a private collection.

Many hopeful starlets performed in what were called "wigglers" that were seen
in penny arcades, 5 to 10 cents per segment of movie, a buck or two for the
whole thing. Those same starlets tried to get them destroyed if they made a
major movie, usually threatening somebody with a major lawsuit. On the other
hand, the quality was so bad that they often went unrecognized. They never
showed full frontal nudity since they were available in the public arcades and
carnivals. As a kid, I was always sneaking into the grown-ups areas. Monroe
was an unattainable fantasy for male America back in the day.

It is well documented that Monroe did several of these as Norma Jean, as the money
was easy. Most were bought up by the studios, but a couple got away, like this one.
