Original – Photo of Marilyn Monroe while filming The Seven Year Itch on the streets of New York.
Reason
one of the most famous picture, one of the iconic images of the 20th century. The quality is a bit low compared to today standard, but considering its notability, it is adequate (7.29 Megapixel).
Comment – Reproduced/published zillions of times – so many times it's become a bromide. And BTW it was staged, with an artificial draft blowing up through the grating. Comp. marred by indistinct people behind her. –

Don't see anything about a "license" there. In any case, IMO it fails Criterion 3 due to the technical defects noted in my first comment above, and to lack of EV in what is a promotional photographic cliché. –

On the Commons page of the image, it says that it "is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1926 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice." For our purposes, given that Wikipedia is hosted in the United States, this makes it a free image.
