Poor 73-year-old Lawrence Nicastro. He was going through some storage items last year at his Las Vegas home when he found a poster-size image of what he thought to be Marilyn Monroe hitchhiking naked. The poster was actually Madonna from her "Sex" book. Lawrence didn't know that yet and it would take him months to figure it out.
Lawrence spent four months researching the origin of the photo with his wife, Phyllis. He finally called in a Marilyn Monroe expert, Chris Harris. Chris also believed that Lawrence had come across something special.
The two scheduled a press conference for today to unveil their treasure! Thankfully for them they gave the Associated Press a sneak preview. That's when they learned the bad news.
Chris said he plans to go on with the press conference to face the music. He said the only person that wins in all of this is Madonna, "Who wins here? Madonna, of course. She really looks like Marilyn Monroe."
She totally does look like Marilyn Monroe! Well, if you're 73, have sight in only eye, live near railroad tracks and the photo was badly damaged in a flood. I would think that the SUVs would give it away. That's just me though.
I can't wait until Lawrence discovers the Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monrore pictures in 10-years time.
