<\/a>On May 27, 1949, an out of work and broke, Monroe posed nude for photographer Tom Kelley at his studio in Hollywood, California. Agreeing to the session under the condition that Kelley\u2019s wife, Natalie, attend the shoot, Monroe signed the model release as \u201cMona Monroe\u201d and earned a paltry $50. Neither the photographer, nor 22-year old Monroe realized the historic moment they were creating.<\/p>\n
