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

I'd remember if i saw her... i didn't... But I felt it was a very good "old Hollywood" production. I liked it.

Perhaps you are thinking of Marilyn Monroe in Don't Bother to Knock, where she played a babysitter at a hotel. While looking out of the window of the hotel room, she saw Richard Widmark in a room across the way.

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

I see what you mean. From what I know about Marilyn Monroe, I don't think she was even in movies in 1946? Correct?

Actually, I think the confusion is with "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim" made the following year. Monroe has an uncredited role as a telephone operator in it. It is her film debut.

Good point about "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim," Marilyn's first film. I've watched "Shock" twice, and Marilyn's nowhere to be found.
