* CELEBRITY INFORMATION: MARILYN MONROE - BORN NORMA JEANE MORTENSON - June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962 was an American actress and model. Famous for playing comedic characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and was representative of the era's attitudes towards sexuality. Although she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200 million by the time of her unexpected death in 1962. Marilyn continues to be considered a major pop culture idol and is ranked #1 as the world's most famous celebrity icon.

* PHOTOGRAPHER/PAINTER INFORMATION:

EARL STEFFA MORAN (December 8, 1893 – January 17, 1984) was an American pin-up photographer and glamor artist.

Moran's first instruction in art came under the direction of John Stich, an elderly German artist who also taught the great illustrator W.H.D. Koerner. Moran also studied with Walter Biggs at the Chicago Art Institute.

Moran later studied at the famedArt Students Leaguein Manhattan, where he learned from the muralists Vincent Drumond,Robert Henri, Thomas Fogarty (Norman Rockwell's teacher), and the legendary anatomistGeorge Bridgman. After moving back to Chicago in 1931 and opening a small studio where he specialized in photography and illustration, he sent some paintings of bikini-clad girls to two calendar companies; when bothBrown and Bigelowand Thomas D. Murphy Company bought the work, his career was officially launched.

Moran signed an exclusive contract with Brown and Bigelow in 1932 and by 1937, his pinups had sold millions of calendars for the company. In 1940, Life ran a feature article entitled "Speaking of Pictures" which mostly focused on Moran's work and made him a national celebrity. In 1941, Moran helped the magazine publisher,Robert Harrison, to launch a new men's magazine calledBeauty Parade, and he later contributed pin-ups to other Harrison magazines such asFlirt, WinkandGiggles.

In 1946, Moran moved toHollywoodthough he had already painted many movie stars includingBetty Grable, for publicity posters. Soon after his arrival, he interviewed a young starlet namedNorma Jeane Doughertywho wanted to model for him. For the next four years,Marilyn Monroeposed for Moran and the two became friends. She always credited him with making her legs look better than they were as she felt they were too thin. Moran's work during this time period is now considered his most valuable; a Moran Marilyn pastel art piece sold for $83,650 atHeritage salesin February 2011, nearly doubling the previous record for one of his works.

Moran lived in the San Fernando Valley from 1951 to 1955, hosting large parties, directing and starring in short television films, painting portraits of Earl Carroll's Vanities Girls, and maintaining his position as a star of the pin-up world.

Marilyn Monroe posed for Moran through the late 1940's and early 1950's

After a move to Las Vegas (circa 1955), Moran decided to devote his time to painting fine-art subjects, with nudes as his favorite theme. Signing with Aaron Brothers Galleries, he painted for collectors until 1982, when his eyesight failed. Some of his earlier works for Harrison were signed "Steffa" or "Black Smith". Moran died in Santa Monica, California, on January 17, 1984.
