On the other han, Earl Moran had established himself as a leading illustrator of beautiful women. This then was a lucky bvreak for Norma…

Earl Moran hired Marilyn through the Blue Book Agency in Los Angeles in 1946. This was one of Marilyn's earliest regular modeling assignments, to help pay the rent while she fought for that elusive entree into the movie business. She posed for him off and on for the next four years.

Moran usually took photos of her, which he used as reference for his pinup illustrations. He paid Marilyn ten dollars an hour to photograph her in various costumes and states of toplessness from 1946 to 1949.

Moran's Marilyn work was used, among others, by major calendar company Brown & Bigelow. Forty years later, in January 1987, Playboy magazine published some of Moran's 1946 nude photos of Marilyn.
Earl Moran's work for magazines and calendars placed him in the company of Alberto Vargas and George Petty.
