Joseph Jasgur


Joseph Jasgur was a photographer who shot photos of Marilyn Monroe when she was just a 19-year-old brunette hoping to break into modeling. Several beach photos, in particular, years later created a sensation: one appeared to show a sixth toe on Monroe's left foot, which many Hollywood historians have dismissed as an optical illusion. In 2000 Jasgur signed away control of the photos to an Orlando drywall contractor, then spent his last years trying to get them back.
