Carl Rollyson Quote
April 18: Ethel Dougherty finds a job for Norma Jeane as a typist at Radioplane, a munitions factory that makes drones. But at a speed of only thirty-five words a minute, she does not do well and is assigned to inspecting parachutes. She is paid twenty dollars per week. She works ten hours a day and tells Grace McKee it is hard work because she is on her feet most of the time. But the alternative, a job with the army, was worse because of all the wolves.
