The year is 1944

Just a guess Rosie the welder ?

Not exactly Rosie the Riveter, but one of the many women who took over in our country's factories once the men had gone to war.

Not a on-the-job photo, however, as she isn't wearing one of those hideous head-coverings that factories required.

I wouldn't have expected 1944 photo to be in color either.

Rosie before my time, Whats a Riveter?

A riveter is someone who rivets.
And it's Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe (I cheated).
Maybe her life wouldn't have been so tragic if she had stayed with machinery instead of stardom.

Even picturing her blond, I still can't see her Thistle.

Check out your downspouts, Nyboy. There might be rivets where the different parts are connected. In general, to connect to large pieces of metal welds are used. To connect two lighter metal items a rivet that goes through both pieces and is pushed together making a tight connection that is not removable like a screw or bolt would often be used.

The "great idea" in jeans -- where they get their ability to hold up under working conditions -- is in the rivets. Pockets don't tear out or fall off.

I think Marilyn's problem was more male orientated. Kennedy family wanted her silenced , much like the royal family with princess Diana.

Yep thistlebloom, Marilyn. The slacks patterned after the navy trousers.

Nyboy,
The Kennedy tolerated the gossip that always comes up when a famous person dies, the Winsors did get a lucky break.
