一支声称是已故性感女神玛丽莲•梦露成名前所拍的性爱短片将于下月公开拍卖,底价50万美元。这支黑白短片片长约6分半钟,画质粗糙。收藏家表示,这部影片拍摄于1947年,当时梦露还不到21岁。据了解,玛丽莲•梦露未成年时已经出道,当时她并非叫玛丽莲•梦露,而是叫Norma Jean Baker。短片中梦露的脸蛋与后来成为大明星时有很大的不同,但与她1949年在第一部电影《爱情让人快乐》里的模样没有太大差异。
A Spanish collector plans to auction what he claims is a rare film of Marilyn Monroe shot when she was still an underage actress known as Norma Jean Baker.
Collector Mikel Barsa wants at least $500,000 (£306,500) for the sexually explicit six-and-a-half-minute, grainy black-and-white film, which he says was made before 1947 when Monroe was not yet 21.
The face of the woman in the film looks considerably different from the Monroe who emerged later as a star, although she does bear a resemblance to the star as she appeared in one of her first movies.
Love Happy, released in 1949, showed the actress as she was before she lost weight, added a beauty spot on her left cheek and became one of Hollywood's most enduring stars.
"The Marilyn that everybody recognises is not the Marilyn seen [in this film] because she underwent a great transformation," Mr Barsa said.
Some have expressed doubts though about the identity of the woman in the video.
