 On July 29th, Heritage Auctions in Dallas will hold their Signature Music & Entertainment Memorabilia Auction were seven photos of a young Marilyn Monroe will be auctioned off. Known as Norma Jeane, Monroe started her early career as a model and was photographed in 1946 by leading Hollywood photographer Richard C. Miller. Even before her movie career took off, Monroe was a star in front of the camera.

In the latest release about the auction, Manager of Music & Entertainment Memorabilia at Heritage, Kristen Painter said, "It's a distinct pleasure to offer these rare images, which mark such a key moment in the life of one of Hollywood's greatest stars as well as the careers of one of America's greatest photographers."
