Marilyn Monroe looking bad after losing a lot of weight

[sweetness]

Liz Hurley, eat your skanky heart out.

Wow. She was skinny there! Weird seeing her like that. And agree with whoever said that it's the normal size for today's Hollywood.

I remember hearing that for her final film, she wanted to lose weight because of a 'pool scene' in which she was nude. Forget the name of the movie. But I agree she looks stoned in the photos. She looked best in candid images, when she's not posing or putting on an act.

Awww She was a very unhappy person I think?

I think she was a tormented soul. Some of the comments she used to make indicated that. The most beautiful always seem to have a tragic story.

Bert Sterns' final pics of Marilyn were for Vogue and taken 6 weeks before her death. The scarf pics are some of the more famous ones but he took over 2000 images, Marilyn in a black dress, in a black hat, in bed with white sheets, drinking champagne, playing with necklaces. I have the book. Before Lindsay I did my own tribute pics and they are here on the board somewhere-I posted them in January. At her autopsy she weighed 117 pounds.

The name of the movie was "Something's Gotta Give."

I noticed in another thread about Marilyn that it looked like
towards the end, her eyes became more wall-eyed. Can drugs
do that, too?

yeah i have this book, its pretty damn good actually, it has a nice narrative and beautiful pics but yes she was quite small, i think she finally gave in to the new fashion and figure of the 60s by this time. she too, evolved with the times you know!


here she is looking tiny w/ her friend Carl Sandburg.

I don't think she looked thin. Just tired...and the makeup looked more painted on.

They really do. It's like you have to pay a big price for beauty.

lol. Yeah, Marilyn does white jeans BETTER!!!!

[Buffy Burnett]

Yep, torment's the right word for it. A lost woman who looks about 5'4" in these pics. Was she really that short?

Looking at her last few pictures is so awkward to me.
