Only the Beginning
The Hollywood networks were relieved that, now that Marilyn was single again, she wouldn’t abandon them to focus on a marriage. Twentieth Century Fox studio executives were prepared to meet with her at last.
The combination of Marilyn’s brilliance and beauty made an immediate and lasting impression on them. As soon as her screen test with studio chief Darryl Zanuck was completed, she was offered a position there. She committed to the company for 7 years at $75 per week. However, he had her practise for six months before she made her film debut.
Making Marilyn Monroe Out of You
Actress changed her name after realising it wouldn’t be a good fit for the business. One of the studio’s employees, Ben Lyon, then recommended they call her “Marilyn.” Monroe was added afterwards, and it was her mother’s maiden name. In this way, history’s most renowned star was born. Career-wise and personally, Marilyn was on the up and up. The film Dangerous Years, in which she first appeared, was released that year (1947). Furthermore, she and Berniece were still quite close. The only drawback was that her mother disapproved of her work, but she didn’t let that stop her.
