Happy birthday, Ms. Norma Jean:


I love this picture, she just looks *kissable*. Beautiful and fun and real, all at once, not the shellacked hard shell of glamour she became. Here, I think it's easy to see why she was a sex symbol.

It's funny, because the very thing she became famous for took away the warm, awkward individuality that made her so desirable in the first place.
