Marilyn Monroe, born in 1926, was a film actress who started modelling with the The Blue Book Modeling Agency before she began her acting career. Marilyn, who would later go on to star in over twenty films, made her face known worldwide. Although not officially a "pinup girl", Marilyn's modelling work is still claimed as decadent as most pinup models of her time.
