08 Jun 1952, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA --- Marilyn Monroe, considered for excellent and obvious reasons Hollywood's most exciting blonde since Jean Harlow, looks curvy and outdoorsy as she is pictured before taking a swim in a Hollywood pool. Marilyn's swimming figured in the news earlier in the week. Actress Dorothy Arnold, former wife of Joe DiMaggio, agreed to let the Yankee immortal keep on taking their son, Joe Jr., places, as long as they stay out of glamour spots. Miss Arnold changed her mind after saying last week she would seek full custody of the boy following reports that father and son were seen swimming with the shapely Miss Monroe. DiMaggio and Miss Arnold were divorced in 1944. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
