In 1946 Marilyn Monroe worked as a pin-up girl and charged $10 an hour to be photographed as reference for images that were turned into paintings. This is an example of one of the more ‘safe for work’ images. (1080×960)

These images were the ones created with Earl Moran, rather than the later ones photographed by Tom Kelley that wound up in Playboy.
The two worked together for about four years, and the sessions became a regular source of income for her. During that time, she was taking acting classes and beginning to be noticed by agents.

Did Robert McGinnis ever paint her?
In 2016 I got paid $10 an hour to stir big barrels of toxic chemicals with a wooden stick.Â
Such is progress.
Wow, history has some surprising jobs! 😂
