At top you see a 1956 cover of the French film and celeb magazine Ciné-Révélation featuring the eternal Marilyn Monroe. The magazine caught our eye because we recognized the cover image as a promotional photo made for Monroe’s film There’s No Business Like Show Business. We think it’s one of the most striking shots of one of history’s most photographed people, so we thought we’d show you what it looks like without the text and wear. It’s reversed compared to the Ciné-Révélation version, but it’s the French who printed it backward. How can we tell? Because Monroe’s beauty mark was on the right. Our right. Her left. You know what we mean.
1976—Gerald Ford Rescinds Executive Order 9066
U.S. President Gerald R. Ford signs Proclamation 4417, which belatedly rescinds Executive Order 9066. That Order, signed in 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, established “War Relocation Camps” for Japanese-American citizens living in the U.S. Eventually, 120,000 are locked up without evidence, due process, or the possibility of appeal, for the duration of World War II.
