    The artist apparently got Shelley Winters mixed up with Miss Monroe.

    Good catch! That's what I thought even before I read your post. It looks like one of her sexy poses in Lolita.

    At least the coin doesn't show Monroe as she looks now. image

    Not an attractive image of MM on the coin. The guy with Joe & MM in the picture is Lefty O'Doul and I wonder if that is the guy that opened O'Doul's in San Francisco around the corner from the Saint Francis Hotel. I bet it is...



    Now how is that for trivia and things one would not expect to contemplate while on this forum??
