Fantastic 1946 document signed by Marilyn Monroe as Norma Jeane Dougherty, one year before she changed her name. Here, Monroe signs a release as a model, allowing celebrity photographer Earl Moran to use her images in exchange for $10. Beneath her signature, ''Norma Jeane Dougherty'', she handwrites her address: ''11348 Nebraska Ave.'' Marilyn also pens the date of 11 March 1946. Monroe posed for her friend, pin-up artist Earl Moran several times during the late 1940's, with this session being their first, producing the famous image of Monroe, sans bikini top, laying on floor cushions. Of Moran's work, Marilyn said that he made her legs appear more attractive in his photographs. Document measures 8.5'' x 5.5''. A two-inch and one- inch tear are present at the top left and top center respectively. A single piece of tape on the verso mounts the page to a paper board. Very good condition. A truly spectacular piece of Hollywood history.
