On September 15, 1954, the famous picture of Marilyn Monroe, laughing as her skirt is blown up by a blast from a subway vent is shot during the filming of The Seven Year Itch.  Her husband at the time, baseball player, Joe DiMaggio did not like the photograph and they divorced soon afterwards.  The photograph is a staple of pop culture.
