She got married at the age of 16. At the time that World War II broke out and Monroe began working in an industrial facility. She was introduced to a photographer who was part of the First Motion Picture Unit. The result was a brief career as pin-up models. In the latter half of 1950, following some small roles in films, she signed an agreement with Fox. She became a well-known actress throughout the following two decades, playing roles in a variety of comedies, including As Young as You Feel, Monkey Business, as also in the dramatic films Clash by Night, and Don't Be Afraid to Knock. The actress was a target of scandal when it was discovered that she had taken naked photos prior to becoming a star.
