It was said that Marilyn was an occasional smoker. Although, looking at some of these rare photos it appears the habit was more than occasional. The first time Marilyn was seen sporting a cigarette on screen was in Right Cross (1950), though in her very first screen test she lit and put out a cigarette. She appeared on at least one magazine cover smoking a cigarette, and she is smoking in bed in the opening scene of Niagara (1953).
Monroe, Marilyn(1 June 1926-5 Aug. 1962), film actress and sex symbol, was born Norma Jeane Mortensen (and was also known as Norma Jeane Baker in her youth) in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Gladys Monroe Baker Mortensen, a film cutter, who was unmarried when she gave birth to Monroe (her father has never been positively identified).
