Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Ms. Monroe

Marilyn Monroe sure gave the troops a treat during her USO performance in Korea, February 1954. The blonde bombshell performed to over 100,000 troops during a four-day tour. Monroe was already a well-known bombshell, so it’s likely many of the soldiers she performed for had a picture of her around to keep morale high.

Though she sadly died at age 36, Marilyn Monroe was one of the most famous actresses and popular bombshells of her time. Her films grossed $200 million in the decade she was a top-billed actress, and her image lives on. She’s a cultural icon to this day.
