Marilyn Monroe was “discovered” by then Captain Reagan while working in a drone factory in WWII. “As Norma Dougherty, she began working at the Radioplane Munitions Factory in Van Nuys, California, while her husband served in the military overseas with the Merchant Marines.” 
Lookout Mountain used all the dressings of Hollywood to produce films for government officials and training videos for the military, using stars like Marilyn who had special clearance to urge nuclear secrecy. They also pioneered film innovations like 3D techniques & Vista Vision
Such a large volume of material was produced that it would take a decade to watch. Legendary director John Ford among many others worked for them. Clips were not just used for government films but in Hollywood productions like Dr. Strangelove, merging reality, propaganda & farce.
