“Marilyn Monroe – A Picture For Every Year of Her Life
1941:
Monroe did not graduate from Van Nuys High School. She dropped out of school in 1941. The United States was deep into World War II at this point and California was home to many factories that supported the war effort. Although the Goddards wanted her to take a job in one of these factories like more and more women were doing, Monroe was more interested in acting and modeling. She had her eye on Hollywood…not on an assembly line.”
