Page "James Dougherty (police officer)" Paragraph 9

Dougherty maintained in his books that he didn't mind if she modeled.

Conversely, his sister wrote in the December 1952 issue of Modern Screen Magazine that he left Norma Jeane because she decided to pursue modeling, and he didn't like the attention it created.

He told Lifetime's " Intimate Portrait " that he cut off her monthly allotment when he was served with divorce papers ; To Norma Jeane with Love also references this.
