I didn't used to think much about marilyn, I thought she was just a slutty woman used by hollywood. But after hearing more about her life, you realize, that wasn't her she was just put into the blonde ditzy persona to appeal to the times. I think she was a sweet intelligent woman, who was more than met the eye. I really recommend reading blonde- joyce carol oates if you are interested in her, its the best book I've read so far :).
Hopefully with the new marilyn movie coming out we can get a gorgeous curvy blonde to do her justice!06 Reply- +1 y

+1 yerm I don't think she was he most beautiful woman who ever lived but...lol
i love marilyn. I like reading her quotes. I'm bi and I love curvy women and marilyn had a beautiful body. she seems like more of a character than most people give her credit for.05 Reply- +1 y
Yeah same here, except I think she was the most beautiful. who do you think is most beautiful may I ask?
- +1 y
I don't think I would make a judgment on who the most beautiful woman on earth is or was. There are so many different types of beauty and I couldn't possibly ever meet every person who has ever lived or that lives now lol just like marilyn was once a regular girl I think there are millions of girls who will never be famous that are just as pretty if not prettier than she was. I see girls on a daily basis who are just as pretty imo. To each is own. She was gorgeous so I can see y you think so.

And don't worry megan fox isn't one of them lol I don't get why everyone is crazy over her. To each is own I guess. This makes me think of candle in the wind...makes me cry everytime! Seriously that song is genius. "Goodbye norma jean, though I never knew you at all, you had thegrace to hold yourself while those around you crawled..." :(

Of course I didn't like everything about her but you know overall..ok I need to stop commenting lol

+1 yShe is what is called today as a modern day sex symbol.
Anna Nicole Smith tried to copy her. That didn't work.
Christina Aguliera is trying to copy her.
Girls idolize her for some reason, I think it was because she was a classy about banging a massive amount of guys.11 Reply- +1 y
And because she was sexy!
I don't go for blonds.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yshe was sexy and intriguing. very beautiful and she went through so much. she was iconic for women but placed into a certain role and subjugated. she had a lot of issues stemming from her childhood and had that sad longingness to her.
and for the guy who keeps trying to convince everyone that marilyn was fat -- please, not every woman has to look like a prepubescent girl just to suit your fancy *rolls eyes*11 Reply- +1 y
Thank you!!!
+1 yShe was gorgeous, and had a genuinely curvy figure. SHe had a legitimate hourglass figure. True she was a size 12 I think, and had a pretty small waist. She was stunning. I think she also had a way of being magnetic and your eye was drawn to her and she had a way of pulling you in when she spoke.
However, she had her demons such as drug use and obvious problems beneath the surface so its important we don't glorify her completely and ignore the fact htat she was a human being.11 Reply- +1 y
Mhmm, that's very true, I respect her though and I associate with her in many ways and I'm a lot like her, minus the sex and prescription meds, but something about her draws me in and reminds me so much of myself.
+1 yi honeslty don't like to "look up" to anyone. I want to do what's best for me and do things I think are grand. but, if I had to choose someone to look up to, it'd be marilyn monroe. she had real beauty and was genuinely smart - not only about boys, but about her career. I guess she's the standard I hold myself up to in means up being an amazing woman.

She wasn't overweight :( and used pain killers. That's not drugs!
- +1 y
How are painkillers not drugs?
- +1 y
Because they are pills that kill your pain. People say pot isn't a drug, and it is.
- +1 y
Died of an overdose of these drugs, possibly abandoned by Bobby Kennedy, thought to be the last to see her alive..in circumstances never clarified.
- +1 y
Pain killers are a drug.. marilyn monroe wasn't overweight and weed is only a drug by dictionary definition but technically its not because its not addictive or all that dangerous.... and besides many influential people through out history used drugs
- +1 y
Not dangerous? Is she perchance not dead?
- +1 y
I see what you are saying, but I messed up by saying pain killers, I meant sleeping pills because she couldn't sleep, she had high anxiety. And I don't believe she overdosed, I believe she was murdered actually and from what I have read, it wasn't just her that caused her death. And drugs in my definiton are weed, heroin, meth, cocaine.
- +1 y
Yes, many say the Kennedy boys killed her because she knew too much and the drugs were adminsiterd, not by her, but by a mobster...we'll never know.
In any case, not someone to be held up as a role model!!!! - +1 y
Lol ur right, but like I said, I feel a connection to her and am a lot like her. not the meds or sex tho!

Lol she wasn't a size 12 despite what's said, she was actually an 8 or 10 and petite.

A moll for mobsters and big shots, dead at 36 from a drug overdose and/or murdered or left to die by her mob boy friends. Couldn't act and couldn't seem seductive in spite of her body.'
Smart, seductive?
Sexy, OK if you like them dumb and plump, nature gave her that.

I’m not into her at all. I do like brunets though

Thats good.
1.3K opinions shared on Flirting topic. I have no idea why people think Marilyn Monroe is (was) sexy. If you want to see a hot (and also dead) actress from the past, see Audrey Hepburn. I saw the video of MM singing happy birthday to JFK and it made me want to puke.
Megan Fox, and just about every other F in show biz under 50, is hotter than MM.
OK, not Ellen, Rosie OD, Roseanne, etc.23 Reply- +1 y
Thank you for your opinion, but I think she was the most beautiful women in the world :) and audrey hepburn was very pretty but I don't think she even compared to MM. Again just an opinion!

I agree she does give off that vibe, but she's not like that at all.
Opinion Owner+1 yNot like that all , how is that. She had like 4 husbands (including Joe Dimaggio and ARthur Miller) and screwed all of the kennedy brothers and lots of other people. I mean that just seems skanky.

She had 3 husbands, only had an affair with john F. Kennedy not bobby, and only had sex with men she cared about.
Opinion Owner+1 yShow's how much I know then. Still think she had that vibe though. But didn't have an affair with Bobby, are you sure.

Yes, I've read tons of books on her, she did with John but not Bobby.

Actually when you think about it what would Marilyn Monroe do if I wanted to talk about engines or electrical wiring with her? She would get p*ssed off because I had offended her "womanhood"
and can you imagine her trying to work on an airplane engine or a car? She would probably break a nail and start crying or something no thanks give me Hypatia or a shuttle commander or a philosopher. A woman who won't ever try to hide behind a man or expect him to act like her father. - +1 y
I see what your saying, and woman that are too girly like that are very annoying. But from everything I've read, and heard, marilyn was nothing like that, she wasn't as girly as youd think lol and she wouldn't get "p*ssed off" I'm sure she would be very interested.
- +1 y
I'm guessing you know quite a bit about her, I never have bothered to read up on her. The few movies I've seen her in she was quite a sissy but that was a very bad time in US history racial segregation rampant sexism. Perhaps it was just an act by an actor but never the less that's her image so I never noticed her as any thing but an icon of a bygone era.
- +1 y
Lol I do. I've read 4 books on her and her autobiography. Twentieth gave her those roles and she hated them. That's why she broke free and produced her own company. Marilyn Monroe productions.
