The Marilyn Monroe photo that is said to have started her path to celebrity as revealed by the photographer's daughter, Susan Bernard. The photo was shot by Bruno Bernardon 1946. "Bruno first laid eyes on Norma Jean on Sunset Boulevard right after a dentist appointment," Susan said. "He gave her his business card and she came the very next morning to do the test shots. Those shots were enough to bookher on her first job which was a bandage advertisement, where Norma Jean would be bandaging a dog that same week."
Bruno borrowed his dentist's dog, Rolf, who happened to be the closest dog in proximity to the studio.
