quote:
"Remember it was Playboy that made her famous..."
Actually her star was irrevocably ascending and Hef managed to catch some of her pixie dust:
"After appearing in small parts in films including LOVE HAPPY (1949) and ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), Monroe achieved celebrity with starring roles in three 1953 features?NIAGARA, GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES and HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE?as well as a series of nude calendar photos, taken in 1948, which appeared in the December 1953 debut issue of Playboy magazine. By the end of the year, Monroe had been voted the top star of 1953 by American film distributors."
