Before she dyed her hair platinum. Before she married for the first time. Before she changed her name to something a bit more catchy, Norma Jeane Baker took a selfie.
The young bombshell snapped this self-portrait at a photo booth circa 1940, donning a hounds-tooth jacket, plaid shirt and a wide-brimmed hat. The photograph proves that, even without all the glitz and glamor, Miss Baker had a smile that could light up a room.
The photo, which was originally gifted to a relative, is extremely rare, given that all negatives from the photo booth were later destroyed.
