That may be true, but she sure looks like death warmed over today.

Not even that warm

/but she did look good until the day she died

Every couple of years another set of pictures of her early days surfaces. This set is pretty amaturish. However...

Is there ever a time when she wasn't, as long as she was still drawing breath?

I never knew that she modeled men's dress shirts. ; )

Either that or she lived long enough to wear a mini-dress in the late Sixties, which I'm pretty sure would mean her death was faked.

Last time some "unpublished pictures" of her came out I noticed that she had perfect teeth. It's wasn't like all the stars today where they're all verneered and whitened, they were legitimate perfect teeth. I was impressed.

LIFE magazine, your source for endless supplies of pointless nostalgic photo slideshows from the 1940s through the 1960s so as Boomers have something to email each other besides pictures of their grandkids and cats.

She used to have such a fine figure. I hear she's nothing but sharp knees and stuff, now.

/actually, I like 'em large and small, sharp knee'd/flat and 'big boned' too.

Real teeth, real boobs, real everything. Heck, she's probably sporting a bush that could hide a small dog too. They didn't have the cosmetic enhancement options like we do today.

It makes her that much hotter.

Agreed. That woman was built for love and adulation. Shes timeless no matter the current standard being fed to us by pop culture. My only complaint would be that she probably didn't shave the hooha, but in the 50's would I have cared? She was an eight cylinder sex kitten with an uncanny grace.

It's a shame how her life ultimately turned out. Girl really never had a chance.

One day, I had a conversation like this:

Mrs. Earguy: "Did you know Marilyn Monroe was a size 10?"

Me: "Yeah, well, she did have a pretty big ass."

Mrs. Earguy: Cold Stare Of Death.

It's a trap, it's always a trap.

2012-02-01 04:31:36 PM
She is kind of lucky she died. Before she turned into one of the hot celebritys of yesteryear that try to grasp on to their former looks with a shiat ton of plastic surgery. They just ended up looking like waxy cartoons of themselves.
 
2012-02-01 04:32:19 PM
Meh
 
2012-02-01 04:32:23 PM
What's actually interesting is that there was a time when Marilyn Monroe didn't look like Marilyn Monroe. She only ended up looking like she did due to a very skilled plastic surgeon.

You're looking at her hair?!?!?!
 
2012-02-01 04:34:48 PM
These shots show someone named Norma Jean, who had not yet become Marilyn (even if that's what she was calling herself at the time). Norma Jean is cute and perky, but it wasn't until she learned how to turn the Marilyn up to eleven that she became "actually quite attractive," to put it mildly.

/also the quaaludes later in her career made her seem a LOT more accessible :-)

Um, Marilyn Monroe had a decent amount of work done. And this was in a time when plastic surgery was VERY expensive, rare, and could be fatal.

She had her her nose done and her chin done. She also had dental work and electrolysis on her hair line. (they used to actually raise the hair line but I've since learned she actually didn't do that)

Here's a before and after of her nose job: Link (new window)

Not anymore, page is closed.
I endorse this headline 100%. The idea of men fawning over her always gave me the impression that the universe had been holding back most of the stock of actual pretty women until the mid-70's.

Subby is more likely Studman69. Teh Gheys love/d her. In fact there was one big 'mo that wrote a pretty decent song about how much he loved her. How'd that go... "something, Norma Jean"...?

There are enough photos of her around when she was 12 or 13 to suggest that the rumors of her being molested in foster care are probably, tragically, true. She developed early.

At least one biography of her noted that she dyed her pubic hair platinum to match her coiffure. Whether or not that makes her more or less hot depends on, well, you.

I find her to be one of the most fascinating women of the 20th century and have 8 or 10 biographic/photo books of her within arm's reach. Part of it is the physical genuine perfection that Whatthefark alluded to; part of it her horrendous background and resulting personality flaws; part of it is her genuine comedic talent. I'm not sure they make 'em like that any more, and if they do, they wouldn't survive the current system of "fame". She survived as long as she did in part because she had a studio system to protect her and a press that was limited in what they could do and say.

I knew a guy who hit that. Unfortunately I never asked about her grooming habits and he's dead. We will probably never know.
