THERE'S something deathly satisfying about seeing a celebrity before they were pruned and cut to stardom perfection.
But even before she hit her peak, Marilyn Monroe's star quality was well above other stars before they were discovered.
These unpublished photos of the actress were taken when she was training to become the celebrity she would eventually be.
The photographer was LIFE's J R Eyerman and it was early 1949, before Monroe hit fame.
Eyerman must have seen Monoroe's special glimmer to capture her training that day.
A LIFE correspondent sent the photos along with this note: "Marilyn trains herself for hoped-for movie stardom by consulting specialists in singing, dancing and drama and how she is worked on by them in the effort to produce a wrapped-up package of talent to back up her photogenic sex appeal.”
Amazing.
