She was extremely popular as an actor and $ex symbol throughout the world. She was also a singer. The Blue Book Modelling Agency offered her a modelling job when she was only 20. From modelling, Monroe gradually transitioned to acting. However, she did pose nude for Tom Kelly, a photographer in 1949, and that too at the low price of just $50.

Gradually she was noticed by a few directors and producers, and there were rumours that Monroe used to hang out with these influential men sometimes for even $500 per day. There have been various biographies written about her which state that she said that she used to go on dates to have a good dinner or maybe receive money to pay her rent.

He used to work for him and run his errands, and do other house cleaning stuff for a room. That was his first job in this industry.
