Founder of Radioplane, maker of military target drones. Near the end of WWII, Denny gave permission for a war industry
photo shoot at his Radioplane plant. The event would have passed without notice except for a pretty young employee who became a magnet
for the photographers. Recognizing her potential, she was brought to the attention of some Hollywood types who agreed to give her a try. It
was then that Norma Jeane Mortensen was able to leave what she would later say was "the hardest work she ever had to do" to begin a Hollywood career. Of course, we know her today by her screen name,
Marilyn Monroe.
