Can You Guess What These Celebrities Did for a Living Before They Were Famous?

Before they were world famous, these stars had some common (and uncommon) jobs!

What did Marilyn Monroe do? She assembled drone planes during WWII. Many people think that drones are a more recent invention, but the famous photos in which she’s holding a propellor, the photos that got her into modeling, do not show a full size plane!

What did Cary Grant do? His first job was a stage light operator at the Bristol Hippodrome and his name was Archie Leach back then! The star was also known as kind of a bad boy, but you wouldn’t know it based on his screen persona!
