Marilyn Monroe by Earl Moran: In 1946, calendar and magazine illustrator Earl Moran hired the Blue Book Agency’s Norma Jeane Dougherty to model for him. He paid her $10 an hour. Over the next three years, Moran hired Marilyn on and off and was a fairly steady source of income for her during those erratic, hungry years. Marilyn was once quoted as saying, “Earl saved my life many a time. “
