Very early vintage fountain pen signature, "Norma Jeane Dougherty,” on an off-white 3.75 x 5.25 album page signed by several other individuals. Affixed by its top edge to a glossy 8 x 10 photo of Marilyn Monroe. In fine condition. Accompanied by a photocopy of her divorce decree._x000D__x000D_Norma Jeane Baker married James 'Jimmie' Dougherty at age 16 in June 1942, moving to California with him the next year. At the age of 17, Norma Jeane Doughtery worked 10-hour days at the Radioplane Company in Burbank, California, a World War II defense plant that tasked her with checking and spraying parachutes. In June 1944, Army photographer David Conover arrived at Radioplane to snap morale-boosting pictures of female workers for the First Motion Picture Unit. He discovered the bubbly redhead and took several photos of her holding a propeller; the images and resulting attention spurred Jeane to quit her job from the factory in January 1945, and, not long after, sign on with the Blue Book Modeling Agency. Mismatched and 'dying of boredom' in her marriage to Dougherty—who was against her having a career—she filed for divorce in 1946. By the fall, Norma Jeane had become Marilyn Monroe, newly divorced and on the payroll at 20th Century Fox.
