Starring in many other films led to Monroe's status as a "celebrity." When Joe DiMaggio visited the set of one of Monroe's films, "Monkey Business," he immediately was taken to her. However, it is rumored that Monroe was married to Robert Slatzer; if so, the pair was married for 3 days. There is no legitimate evidence this marriage took place, but she insisted to family and friends that it did. Delusion and fantasy was never far from Monroe's mind. She also claimed her mother died when she was a child, yet Gladys was still living in a mental asylum. She then had her appendix removed in 1952 and told the doctors in a poorly written note to take extra care of her. Monroe posed nude for a collection of calendar pictures taken by Tom Kelley. One of these pictures was bought by Hugh Hefner for $500. This was the centerfold of the first edition of Playboy.
