Vintage 1955 Marilyn Monroe Poster - 11x14 Inch Wall Art - Ideal Home, Office, or Bar Decor

Marilyn Monroe, an American actress, model, and singer, was among the most famous celebrities of the 1950s and 1960s, and would become an icon of the time, embodying the prosperity and elegance of the post-war era. Born Norma Jean Mortenson, she was discovered by a photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit while working in a factory during WWII, kickstarting her career in the film industry.

This iconic image of Monroe was published during her rise to superstardom in 1955. She was married to baseball player Joe DiMaggio in 1954, but the wedding only lasted one year and was ultimately ended by this iconic photograph, which was produced to promote her film The Seven Year Itch. The so-called "subway grate scene," from which this photograph took inspiration, remains one of the most enduring images of the 1950s and Monroe's career.

In an effort to gain more serious roles and expand her career, Monroe founded her own production company in 1954 and began studying under Lee Strasburg at the iconic Actors Studio in New York City. This iconic photograph is an essential piece of American entertainment history and immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present.
