Picture Parade #2…Two Ultra Rare Sights In One Photo
I think this photo is from 1945 when Norma Jeane Mortenson was becoming one of Blue Book Modeling Agency’s top models in Los Angeles. In 1946, she (yes, Marilyn Monroe) would bleach her hair blonde to look more like her favorites Gene Harlow and Lana Turner.
The camera is an RCA Orthicon model which came out around 1943 and is owned by Don Lee’s LA station, KTSL. This is the only picture of this camera I have seen that was not owned by either the NBC or CBS networks. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
looks like he’s doing a very close-up shot on her breasts
This was just an excuse to get close to the model… Creeper gonna creep. Love it!!
Don Lee must have been in love with himself.
Ooo, loving the cameraman’s ultra cool socks’n sandals look…
Here’s another, sans Marilyn, of the Don Lee/W6XAO 1945 I.O. camera I posted to the ETF site.
She looked great as a redhead…
sandal with blue sock worn by the cameraman are unwatchable
