A series of photos taken of a 24 year-old Marilyn Monroe before she became famous have surfaced after 50 years. They were recently found lying forgotten in an archive drawer of LIFE magazine. What makes these so unique is that it portrays her in a more innocent, gentle light than the sex symbol images we’ve mostly associated with her.
These photos of Marilyn posing in her monogrammed polo were taken by Ed Clark in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park in August 1950. Clark says he was able to photograph her at his leisure since she was relatively unknown at the time.
But when he sent several rolls of the film to LIFE in New York, but they wired back, “Who the hell is Marilyn Monroe?”’
