You have got to be kidding me. So this guy is a Marilyn Monroe expert, which is disturbing in its own right, but he doesn’t realize that a photograph, isn’t her? The photo in question is probably almost as popular as any that Marilyn Monroe has ever taken. It is of Madonna hitchiking in the nude from her book back in 1992 called “Sex”. You can see the photo in the link through Google if you have your filter settings turned off.

Quite a laughable mistake on their part. They even had a press conference scheduled in which they were going to unveil the photo. Fortunately for them the press wasn’t as naive as they were. When showed a sneak peak of the photo they were told immediately that it was Madonna. These guys need a quick vacation with a Hilton Head rental me thinks.

Nicastro and his wife, Phyllis, said they had spent about four months researching the origin of the photograph and called in Chris Harris, a publicist and Monroe expert, for help authenticating it.

“You’re right; it’s Madonna,” Harris said after being told of the mix-up. Harris said he believed someone had slipped the poster into Nicastro’s storage as a prank.

“If there ever was an embarrassing moment,” he said, adding that he planned to go ahead with the news conference to “face the music.”

There is one person, he noted, who should feel good about the mistaken identity.

“Who wins here? Madonna, of course,” Harris said. “She really looks like Marilyn Monroe.”
