Marilyn monroe in shock?


I've heard from someone that shock was the first movie Marilyn played in. Can somebody confirm this??

reply

She would have been 20 years old in 1946. Unless she played Mrs Cross, we didn’t see her either.

However…

In 1947, George Seaton directed the movie The Shocking Miss Pilgrim in which Marilyn Monroe had an unaccredited roll as the telephone operator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe

In 46, MM was just beginning her modeling career. She wouldn't have a full starring role until 'Ladies of the Chorus' in 48, then still climbing for several more years before seeming to be discovered overnight. I would have liked to have seen Price and Monroe in a film. For a time she and Joe DiMaggio lived across the street from Price on Roxbury Drive In Beverly Hills. They would see each other when they went to the mailbox. Can you imagine? Stars doing mundane things.

Correction. I said MM and DiMaggio lived on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills across from Price. Actually it was North Palm Drive. Hard to make re-edits on mobile android.

Correct. It would've been Betty Grable instead. ;)
