42 Photos That Capture Curious Moments Throughout History

Unless you were previously familiar with this photo, I believe that almost none of you will immediately recognize the woman pictured in it, despite her going on to become one of the famous women of all time. This, my friends, is the iconic Marilyn Monroe at her first wedding at age 16.
