[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 205967, member: 7"] [FONT=Verdana]An elegant photo still of Marilyn, probably taken in 1947. This was probably close to the time she had her hair dyed for the first time. While working with the Blue Book Modeling Agency, she was urged by the agency's founder, Emmeline Snively, to lighten the color of her hair. Snively's opinion was that models with lighter hair with more easily employable and therefore more successful. Theories seem to vary on whether or not Norma Jeane Dougherty (her real-life and working name at the time) wanted to bleach her hair. Some side that she was initially reluctant, feeling it would not look natural, while others seem to side with the theory that she was considerably eager to change what ever she needed to do in order to progress her professional career. Personally, I think her feelings were probably a combination of both. She was perhaps hesitant to bleaching her hair, probably for various reasons, but I'm fairly certain she was perfectly on board with making some adjustments to her "look" to make her more appealing to those in her desired field. Of course, we all know her goal was to be a movie actress, and she was more than likely complied to any tweaks to her persona.
