Today I bring you some gorgeous vintage photos of the lovely Marilyn Monroe as a young starlet. Her studio (usually 20th Century Fox) always had Marilyn working over-time taking plenty of publicity photos. These would be used in pin-up magazines and calendars, often circulated among GI's returning from World War II or stationed in Korea. Pin-up images like these made Marilyn the favorite among the servicemen, and actually earned her the title of "Pin-up Cheesecake Queen" in 1952!
Below are a selection of photos from Marilyn's various "cheesecake" pin-up shoots for Valentine's Day, from 1947 through 1952. Enjoy!
