Wow, that’s a legendary photo. She really was something else.
This is an awesome story
Iconic
She had a great hair
Hard to believe the Kennedys had her killed.
How does one know it came from a Polaroid camera? If so, what was the camera model?
Was it while the war was still raging on? If so, the year is wrong. Probably 1952. The Korean War ended in July 1953.
I thought it was amazing, when you see the crowd, they are wearing winter gear and she is in a cocktail dress.
She gave them what they wanted.
And She Knew It…
Lotta ‘batin going on after that show.
I don’t get the hype
