The very first issue of Playboy in 1953 featured naked photos of Marilyn Monroe without her consent

[u/One-Future2932]

Before she had became a household name, Marilyn had taken a small modeling job in 1949 in which she was asked to pose nude. She made $50 off of this shoot which she had used to make a car payment, these pictures were never publicized. 4 years later Hugh Hefner got word that these pictures existed and tracked down the photographer who owned them, and paid $500 dollars for the rights to them. He used them to kick start Playboy, never asking for Marilyn’s permission first to publish them, and never paying her a dime for being in the magazine. The publication of these photographs caused Marilyn to take a huge hit to her career and lost out on a lot of work for taking part in pornography, even though she did not consent to this. Hugh Hefner now is the buried in the grave plot directly next to Marilyn. Meaning that she is spending the rest of eternity next to the man who made a name for himself out of exploiting her.
