Marilyn Monroe...the Riveter?
It's true; Marilyn Monroe was once a Real Rosie! In 1945,
(before Marilyn became the Hollywood starlett), the New York "Yank"
magazine did an article about the war effort in New York. At the time, she was
married to a marine, and named Norma Jean Dougherty. Marilyn was working in an
assembly line at Radio Plane munitions factory in California, to support her
husband who was off fighting the war. The unfamous Marilyn was featured on the
cover of the "Yank" magazine, holding a propeller blade happily. It
was at this very factory where Marilyn's talents were discovered. Marilyn filed
for divorce, and ran away to pursue her dreams of becoming a Hollywood actress.
