Art Aragon with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe...1955

Aragon quickly became a fixture on the nightclub scene, palling around with Bob Hope, golfing with Mickey Rooney and frequenting the Coconut Grove, Mocambo and Brown Derby, often with a well-known starlet. "I knew Jane Russell pretty good and when she was doing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes she told me to go to Marilyn's dressing room and introduce myself. Bein' a dumb fighter I just opened the door and there she was, sitting in a chair, naked. Nothing on. Of course, like a schmuck, I covered my eyes but she just giggled and put a robe on. I was more embarrassed then she was. Even though I covered my eyes pretty quick, I'll never forget that, Seeing Marilyn Monroe naked."
