Marilyn Monroe's affinityfor the camera was her ticket to stardom.

瑪麗蓮·夢露在相機面前行動自如，這是她同往萬丈星光的通行證。

Arriving in Hollywood in the early 1950s as Norma Jeane Baker, selling 'Marilyn' became her life work and she quickly succeeded in becoming a page one headliner, a columnist's dream and a photographer's best friend.

20世紀50年代早期，諾爾瑪·簡·貝克來到好萊塢，此後她一生都以瑪麗蓮自稱，並一舉成名，成爲報紙雜誌上的封面人物。她讓專欄作家嚮往，也是 攝影師的密友。

1952年的《時代》雜誌稱，與瑪麗蓮·夢露約片是電影媒體經紀人夢寐以求的事。那時一提到她的名字，男人們都會吹口哨。

Betty retired from the screen in 1955.
