The famous picture of Marilyn Monroe, laughing as her skirt is blown
up by the blast from a subway vent, is shot on this day in 1954 during
the filming of The Seven Year Itch. The scene infuriated her husband,
Joe DiMaggio, who felt it was exhibitionist, and the couple divorced shortly afterward. Co-star Tom Ewell is pictured with Marilyn.
