Marilyn Monroe personified Hollywood glamour with an unparalleled glow and energy that enamored the world. Although she was an alluring beauty with voluptuous curves and a generous pout, Marilyn was more than a '50s sex goddess. Her apparent vulnerability and innocence, in combination with an innate sensuality, has endeared her to the global consciousness. She dominated the age of movie stars to become, without question, the most famous woman of the 20th Century.
A movie fan called a press conference to unveil a previously unseen nude photo of Marilyn Monroe - only to be told it was Madonna.
Embarrassed Lawrence Nicastro, 73, had called newsmen to see his poster-size picture of Marilyn posing as a hitch-hiker.
He thought it was taken in 1960 as Marilyn made The Misfits, reports The Sun.
And his 'exclusive' was confirmed by Monroe expert Chris Harris who was sure the grainy snap of a naked girl smoking was authentic.
But, as Mr Nicastro revealed it in Las Vegas, one reporter realised it was an image of Madonna from her controversial 1992 book Sex.
Mr Nicastro looked again at the photo and had to admit: "You're right."
He had found the photo at his Las Vegas home and thought a customer had left it at the garage he used to keep.
He added: "If ever there was an embarrassing moment."
