Did you know?
Schoolgirl love and not a higher calling attracted Norma Jeane Baker to the world of theater, in the form of a play called Art and Mrs. Bottle at Van Nuys High School. She auditioned but didn’t get the part. Years later she told biographer Maurice Zolotow, “I wanted to be in it because a boy I had a crush on, Warren Peek, was playing the lead.”

“She was very much an average student. But she looked as though she wasn’t well cared for. Her clothes separated her a little bit from the rest of the girls. In 1938 she wasn’t well developed. Norma Jeane was a nice child, but not at all outgoing, not vibrant.”
Mabel Ella Campbell, Marilyn’s 7th grade Life Sciences teacher
