Marilyn Monroe's purr "I had the radio on" when she posed for her now historic nude calendar picture was after a historic precedent.

...bizarre call for water is part of an experiment being carried on by Chemistry Professor Willard F. Libby. He hopes to develop an atomic time scale for water samples similar to the radioactive carbon 14 calendar, which measures the age of prehistoric relics (TIME, June...
Chemist Libby's water clock will be based on the same principle as the carbon 14 calendar. Some ten miles high, in the stratosphere, cosmic rays stream in from outer space.

The atoms of cosmic tritium join molecules of water vapor and fall to the earth in snow and rain...

Uneasy studio executives begged her last January to deny the story. But Marilyn believes in doing what comes naturally. She admitted she posed for the picture back in 1949 to pay her overdue rent.
