Norma Jeane Doughtery at 17

The original caption says that this is her as a "newly wed in Catalina in 1943". Is that true? Was she married for the first time at 17 years old?

People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can’t possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap. - Vivien Leigh

She legally changed her name to Lillian Bohny in the early 1920s. and migrated to Hollywood, where she began appearing in silent films.

She married the director of her seventh film, Irvin Willat, in 1923. The two divorced in 1929. Dove had a huge legion of male fans, one of her most persistent being Howard Hughes. She shared a three-year romance with Hughes and was engaged to marry him, but she ended the relationship without ever giving cause. Hughes cast her as a comedian in his film Cock of the Air (1932).

In Portland, the city with quirks, pdx.fm fits in perfectly

By Peter Ames Carlin, The Oregonian

Viewed from the sidewalk, Portland can look like a circus sideshow. Check out the tattooed vegans, walking in stride with the dads and kids, the comic book geeks, the iPhone addicts and the fanatic knitters.

Turn the corner and here come spandex-wrapped bicyclists, sci-fi nerds and folks who have made a religion of finding the city's best sausage waffles.

What are they thinking? The casual observer never knows.

Until you fire up your computer and dial up pdx.fm, two channels of streaming, podcast-able radio shows. They're all-Portland, all the time, and all completely, sometimes unbelievably, unfiltered.
