  • I was obsessed with this commercial as a kid! Unfortunately this video is very grainy and the first part is cut out but it was a very well filmed and produced commercial. It was actually shot on Phillip Street in Sydney, Australia. The real street looks nothing like that. They completely dressed it up to make it look like 50's NY. The theatre, McDonalds, shops, signs, even the grill she stands on - none of it is actually there! Susan Griffiths also did a brilliant job. A perfect Marilyn

  • Marilyn really liked the Big Macs!!!!

  • oh mcdonalds existed at time? lol

  • which pixel is Marilyn?

  • uhmmm.... okay, what did I just watch?

    She was a goddess that can never be replaced by anything or anyone. Not even the actresses of today. The fact that she is used in this commercial shows that she really left a mark. Even with a life as short as hers. And that says something. Really does.

    I am proud of her.

    But using her image in a fast food ad... that's a LITTLE tacky of them ;)

  • Another company making profits by using Marilyn! Tacky!

  • damn she look just like marilyn!

  • How dare they

  • whats the song?

  • @hopishimaruku 'Candle in the Wind' by Eltom John from the 'Yellow Brick Road' album, '79 I think.

  • Not the real Marilyn

    I thought b4 coming here that with todays technology they might've digitised her into a present day commercial

  • Lol. I actually thought this was Marilyn and I was thinking, "Wow. This is really good quality." :P

  • Yeah folks, eat some food that is horrible and deadly because a dead celebrity is shown with them.

  • this is not the real marilyn

  • How so sad to this video :-(

  • So thats where she got all her cellulite?

  • I think some people are just tryink to be mean.If it was not for these 1920 and 1930,1940,1950,actors where would they found those good actors.marilyn was a good @what she did.go take a hike.

  • mm is always being puked out by modern culture in some way isnt ironic tho how the real star is that damm bag of fries... and lots of shakes

  • thats not even her elton wrote that song for her after she died.if it is she didnt no it would b used 4 mcdonald's she was dead

  • Boo! Seriously?

  • So that's why McDonald's is so popular :D. Marilyn's awesome!

  • Nothing makes me think of Marilyn Monroe more than fucking Mcdonalds fries. Oh brother

  • wow,, this is a manifestation that marilyn is a permanent global icon for all times... died in the half of the 20th century but still celebrated even in the 21st century! thats what an icon is...

  • i like the james dean ad too,

  • the closed my methadone clinic i will have to go to macdonald to buy something ,

  • i love marilyn shes gorgeous

  • In what way was Marilyn a fake? So she wore make up, tight clothes and dyed her hair. So do a lot of people. How natural do you want her to be? Marilyn was an actress in the fifties who remains relevant today as more than a symbol, a way to sell cheap meat. She fought hard to be taken seriously as a true artist AND a beautiful, sexual woman. Shame some people still have a Madonna/whore complex and deny her the right to be seen as the complex, interesting human being she was.

  • I totally agree with you! I love Marilyn to death and people need to start respecting her,even though she's not here anymore. All she really wanted out of life was to be taken seriously as an actress and everybody thought that she was a whore and a fake actress and they damn sure thought wrong. In my eyes,I think that she was most best actress out there in this world,and she is defiantly one of the respected women in my book. :) I <3 Marilyn Monroe!

  • I agree so much :)

    I also hate it when people try to dress up like her to be slaggy with the horrible blonde wig and the terrible white dress. They have no idea how beautiful and talented she actually is.

    I love Marilyn :)

  • So true! There will never be another Marilyn. People who bash her do so because they have a boring life...or maybe no life at all...My wife and I own a house where she once visited....she is an icon always!

  • LOL...you idiot....you are the one who commented on somebody you don't even like...I think it is YOU who needs to get a life...you are just a waste of human flesh really.....You are just a loser in life who wants to get attention....sad that you are such a loser really..your mother should of done a better job raising you..

  • Funny that, James Haspiel idolised Marilyn and even followed her around obsessively, and he became a dear friend of hers. Yeah, what a bitch that woman was. Really hated her fans! LOL. Any more ignorant claims you can embarrass yourself with?

  • Ain't it funny how those calling Marilyn a fake determine genuineness of character by appearance?

  • @Muribelle OMG, what u said was amazing and highly accurate. I was gonna have a big write up myself but you said it all. Thanx for posting..... I don't see the relevance of this ad. Marilyn was wonderful but this ad is not.

  • @Muribelle Do you have an altar to her in your house? Is there a button you push on the fireplace that makes it turn around and reveals a picture of her with candles around it? Get real, what you think of as Marilyn Monroe never existed except in front of the cameras. It was all fake.

  • @Indygoguy You never met her either so my version is as good as yours. She was an ACTRESS, it was her job to put on a performance in front of the cameras. I've read a lot about her and I find her life very interesting, thats all. I do have a poster of her but I havent gotten round to lighting the candles and making a shrine just yet. :)

  • @Muribelle Thank you :}

  • was great at the time when it came out , they got permission from Monroes estate to do it , on the condition the actress was only allowed to eat 1 fry

  • How DARE they use Marilyn's image for something this LOW and CHEAP! I am disgusted!

  • This reminds me of that Simpsons episode!

  • She had a very hard life, and made it on her own. She studied hard to be the best artist she could be. So please, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all.

    Plus, if she was anything like you make her out to be, then why is she still hailed as one of the brightest stars there ever was? Why are her films classed as classic? Why do so many still copy her style today? And why does her legend still live on?

  • Loving home? Norma Jeane was passed from foster home to foster home before going to an orphanage, and only felt loved by one of her foster parents, Ana Lower. Children deserve love from the very beginning from at least one parent, and can always sense the true feelings of the adults around them.

  • When did Marilyn play dumb outside of films? Most of the interviews I've read reveal her intelligence quite well, as do her public statements.

    Manipulate the public to make a buck? If Marilyn gave a damn about making a buck she would have stayed in Hollywood when her career was at its strongest peak, which she didn't.

  • omg i totally agree with uu! :] I feel so sorry for her x especially when she nearly got killed, raped and had 2 miscarriages :'( x She was so strong to make it that far! ;) <3

  • You my friend are a pathetic excuse for a human being....This woman was somebody's daughter, sister and friend.....how would you like it if somebody said these things about your mother or sister!? How sad it is to be like you....to have to say the most hateful things in order to get attention....sad really...

  • You harshly slander Marilyn and ask "have you met her?" in the same sentence? LOL!

    Nasty to cast and crew? I have heard many, many accounts from various co-stars and crew, and though most of them attest Marilyn had a number of difficulties during work, they all remember her as very sweet and friendly girl, particularly those who got closer like Jane Russell. The only negative comment comes from Billy Wilder, who said MM was both a genius and had a brain like Swiss cheese. Hmm, okay Billy..

  • HAVE YOU MET HER? If she was the bitch you're talking about, she wudnt have been a legend. SHUT UP! Love MM, soooo much.

  • And where does the almighty internet get its information from, asshole? Firsthand accounts from BOOKS, of which there are plenty discussing the subject of Marilyn Monroe. Yes I've done my research, but I'm not the one trying to prove anything, you are. So enlighten me as to how you've come to your state of enlightenment. Because I really buy that someone who refers to a woman as a "nasty despicable person" would be reading multiple books about her. Or are you actually that pathetic?

  • @mc1pc2nk3

    oh so i guessed you were here maid then? and you knew her well , no i fucking didn't think so

  • @mc1pc2nk3

    yea and do you listen to all the other interviews were co stars , directors etc say how wonderful she is? didnt think so

  • @IrishSeve well said!!

  • the james dean one is better. the personality does not support the advertisement. where as the james dean one is perfect. i think that they had a good idea and stuffed it up with trying to do another one.

  • wow this is in major bad taste

  • How dare you, McDonalds....MARILYN WAS UNIQUE...my god how unrespecful and low is that chain( mac whatever)...marilyn i love you and always will love you..and never ever nobody is gonna be like you

  • very good. I agree!

  • Wtf?

  • is this a real commercial or just made up?

  • McDonalds using Marilyn....totally SICK!

  • This is also a fake

  • She deservs more than a Mac Donals advert! OMG I hated Mac Donals and I hate them even more now! I'm sure MM wouldn't want this! I really like her and this is an insult to her memory it's like they are making a joke about her! I hate Mac Donals! I hope that one day they close for good!

  • Thankyou for agreeing with me. At least we know what she is capable of and deserves.

  • you're welcome.

    And I completly agree. She deserves a lot more

  • :) Thankyou

  • 150% i stand by what you've said!

  • I dont think Marilyn would appreciate someone playing her in a Mac Donalds advert.

    This advert sucks

  • Agreed

  • She would love that people were still remembering her now, decades after her death, she always said that's what she wanted.

  • I think she would want to be remembered in a better way than a Mc Donalds advert. She certainly derserves better than a Mc Donalds advert.

  • That's your opinion. Really, we'll never know and to speak for the dead is sort of messed up. From everything ZI've4 read and every interview I've heard she would have loved this because she loved any sort of publicity (as long as it didn't make her a joke, this, in my opinion, does not. It plays a song that memorilizes her and she was in quite a few store/food comercials so it would have been nothing new for her).

  • Im messed up! lol no just Mc Donalds suck and its a bit of a cringey advert. Im just stating my opinion, not speaking for the dead!

  • Yes, in my opinion, you are pretty messed up. McDonald's did something in memory of a performer and all you can do is bitch and whine. You are in fact trying to speak for the dead by saying "She wouldn't like this, end of discussion", how would you know? You owuldn't. Now that's end of discussion.

  • Bitch and wine? LMAO. Think about yourself before you get picky with others.

  • Also you were the first person out of the two of us to comment this video, and you said "She would love that people were still remembering her now, decades after her death, she always said that's what she wanted." You in fact spoke for the dead, saying she WOULD like this so now its the end of the discussion. We are both as bad as eachother.

  • This is in horrendously bad taste--but what else can you expect from McFucker's, one of the most insidious multinational corporations on the planet.

  • Bad Taste. VERY bad taste.

  • mcdonalds was even out yet. i think it came out in 66.

  • she died in 1962 qhen she was 36 years old.

    They confirmed that is was a suicide

  • I heard that she died in 36..umm how did she????

    please tell me......she is sooo cute!!!!!

  • drug overdoes some say she killed herself

  • some say it was suicide. i think it was a murder because she knew too muchh

  • If you read 'The Assassination of Marilyn Monroe' you will be convinced it was murder, and exactly for the reason you give, "she knew too much"

  • @PaulDeLaWare

    oh i read that , it was amazing once you read that you will be convinced that she was murdered with all the untolded evidence

  • the secret service or the cia thought she was a threat to jfk so they killed her. they said it was an overdose, but there wasn't any residue of the pills in her stomach like there should have been. i think they injected her and covered her with a sheet.

  • marylin actually did a mcdonalds comercial?

    now that's woooow.

    love it.

    which year was it made?

  • It's not Marilyn here, it her impersonator Susan Griffiths

  • Drop dead eltonn john?! the (for all tommorows lies) tune from berlin when thee prncess died would of been nicer for the then. i know this i played it shortly after she died you money whogg?!

  • Marilyn Monroe: Sorrounded by lots of people... Never knowing who to cling to, though.

  • the james dean mcdonalds ad is better

  • what year did this commercial?

  • elton john made one of the best songs ever with this anthem

  • And I would have liked to known you but I was just a Mexican, (Guilermo, Jimmy Kimmell show).

  • I'll have a McMarilyn burger with a large fry please.

  • for some reason, this commercial makes me REALLY sad..is that the case for anyone else?

  • i feel the same.

  • me too. maybe it's the song.

  • DO MC-D have to pay to the Marilyn monroe Productions ?> for this

  • spatari87 i tottaly agree w u

  • I never saw that commercial before- Griffiths still looks great!

  • kind of abuse too say that mc donalds was a legend... mm was, mc not :P

    god i wish i looked like marilyn, she was so

    beautiful...

  • no wonder McDonald's is so popular.

  • Love the video, and I adore Marilyn =D

    Does anyone know where I can get one of those white dresses? One that looks like the original would be good.

  • if she was fat - y was she a model - even in the 60's to be a modal u had 2 b slim or skinny

  • Well of course she wasn't fat!!! Everybody knows that!

    she was slender, but curvacious. Great body, figure and gorgerous face. Her whole look and appearance was famous. Now she is an eternal superstar.

  • Well of course she wasn't big at all!!!!

    Everybody knows thats. It is a well known fact that today Marilyn's size is a size 4 or even a possible 2.

    The whole reason is because usually disgusting fat people portray her. We need to see the real thing.

  • I love this commercial for it's artistic merit...I like how it follows Marilyn around and has Candle in the Wind playing....just not big on it being a McDonalds commercial though, kinda tacky.

  • Marilyn Monroe is not fat. Bridget Bardot is fat.

  • Brigitte Bardot was everything but FAT????? Darling you need an eye test .... to comment on this clip.... well Marilyn was a beautifull artist and sweet person, using her and boggard to promote this burger chain show the rest of the world the great taste of Americans (lot of them, NOT ALLS)... TASTELESS!!!!

  • Bridget Bardot is not fat. Bridget Jones is fat.

  • and ur so right off Sweetie.thats off as in pyscho.how apt that this should be about big macs-stuffed quite a few of those down u havent u judging by the size of u.god Sweetie do u just not care what u look like.the fat heffer look is not good.lol at u.lol.

  • Using Marilyn to sell French fries? I don't think so....

  • I do not agree with the use of dead people that were exploited in life for commercial purposes.

    Also.....Sad that so much fighting amongst the comments here,reminds me of the commentors regarding Diana Ross

  • The worst kind of whoreishness in advertising - when you have to recruit the images of the dead in a desperate attempt to push your shitty produce further down the throats of the American public. Vile.

  • No, you aren't a fan. But it's good you finally admit it. After all, admitting is the first step to recovery.

  • my ears are hurting from this terrible noise

  • oh my god bad

  • the sound is terrible and the quality sucks, the Marilyn tribute artist is lame. sad

  • pretty sad

  • this is fucking lame. i can't believe this mm impersonator that would stoop so low to be associated with this crap.

  • suzie kennedy another one of those was even modeling fake crap for auction!!!

  • This is so freaking lame.

  • eeeeeeeeeeew whos this trick mm would be spining in her grave

  • whoever licensed marylin's image for this horrific trash should be boycotted forever and given a good spanking.

  • I couldn't agree more with you--so let's boycott marilynmonroedotcom and Mark Roesler and Anna Strasberg--forever!!! Yes.

  • Luka Magnotta is Marilyn Monroes son, everyone has herd that.

  • LOL Mark, good luck with boycotting anything. You have no power over CMG. You openly criticized them and they banned you for good on their forum. Do yourself a favour and stop acting like YOU shut down that site. You're going to look like an even bigger fool when it's up and running again.

  • Rosaria Diaz = xXPinkGoddessXx = "charlie" on MMdotcom = "Dwayne" = Psycho who threatened to come to my home and break my knees! Beware of this crazy freak psycho with the pancake face and freak mind!

  • Oh, and yes--we shut down the mmdotcom--Rosaria Diaz was fired, due to her death wishes to two presidents of two countries (USA included) and her desire to "cook children in hot oil!"

    The Secret Service actually investigated against this nutt called Rosaria Diaz! I kid you not.

  • Secret service? Hahahahahaha. I always heard you Germans were crazy and bipolar LOL. Is the FBI in on it too?

  • Your hateful and very telling posts are exposing yourself--freak!

    Go on and push yourself deeper into the shit you are sitting in...go on, crazy F-R-E-A-K! Troubled and fraud supporting criminal!

  • Oh please, stop trying to look like the victim here. You blatantly questioned my identity and made accusations against me without ANY proof. You're just a paranoid, cowardly, hateful little man, hiding behind your vicious blogs. It's not ironic that most of your enemies are ex-friends. Soon enough, you probably won't HAVE any friends!

  • I forwarded Mark Roesler himself the proof about you--and you think it is "coincidence" that MMdotcom was closed immediately?

    You need help. You are a troubled 45 year old super freak!

    I have your vicious emails--with your email address and IP location.

    You are making fun right now, but you are a sick person. Check yourself into the next mental institution, because you are neither an under age "Australian chick" as you claimed for too long, nor "Dwayne."

    Oh, one last thing psycho: "Get A Life!"

  • I have a life, thanks. There is a world outside petty venomous blogs and immature rivalry over who is the better Marilyn fan and who owns what. I love Marilyn and I could care less about the opinion of anyone else. You? You're just after the hype and conflict. You spend more time arguing with people than researching Marilyn, and your blogs are centered around those you hate, not the women you apparently admire.

  • Simple answer, PSYCHO: don't read them and save your breath.

    You're just mad, cause you got the boots and how much you "love Marilyn" hahaha you have proven to the world already.

    Not one inch of your delusional wobbling piece what other have as brain, liar.

    Fool yourself, but not others.

    So when are you coming by to "break my knees, fatso?

    The Cops are informed and you might be next to get a restraining order, creep freak joke.

  • Then save YOUR breath and don't read the messages on the MM forum, hypocrite.

    LOL, I wouldn't be making any comments about my mental stability if I were you. Thanks to the Youtube clip of Marilyn's memorial service, everyone can see you for the unstable and erratic bipolar wackjob you are.

  • I am standing 100% behind my peaceful but loud protest. I was calling for the Police and they could not help me with getting the hiding in the office coward out of there.

    Please stop talking as if you were a Psychologist or something--when all you do is eat, cook, gossip and support criminals.

    You are abusing the legacy of MM with your ugliness and your crazy action. Threatening everybody--including Bush.

  • You're not a fan. You're merely someone who believes they own Marilyn through material possessions. Your protests against other fans and also the fans of the Marilyn forum prove this. That is why you chose someone victimized in life and death to bring this possessive obsession upon. If Marilyn's name didn't cause so much controversy and conflict you would not bother with her.

  • listen lady who or whatever you really are and i don't care for that one really but you should stop making things up please okay? thanks

  • You can never escape McDonald's!

  • Wow I never knew Luka Magnotta was her son oMG!

  • Luka was born in 1982 - twenty years after her passing.

    Lok at his wikipedia entry - it's laughable!

  • screw McDonalds!

  • Don't blame McD's! Blame the woman who inherited MM's estate - ANNA STRASBERG. She is 100% responsible for any licensing of MM's image :-(. Lee Strasberg was the main beneficiary of MM's will, then he died and his new wife, whom MM never knew, took control... and has been raking in the bucks ever since.

  • Even dead people aren't safe from McDonald's.

    Like she woulda ever eaten McDs!

  • She probably threw it up immediately afterwards.

  • I can't belive they did that to poor Marilyn. Shame on McDonalds.

  • Marilyn was in shape!

  • omg you fags!! Marilyn would NEVER do that!!! Grrrrrrrr

  • wtf

  • omg what aload of shit.. marilyn and.. mc'd

    haha doubt it very much mm is better then some shitty food rest

  • How dare you, McDonalds.

    How.

    Dare.

    You.

  • the real whore is that elton john

  • i can see all of ur points its irony, but somehow its unreal how the magical spirit of that gurl is still alive here.

  • that has angered me more than i could possibly ever articulate.

  • This is just absurd. I'm not lovin' this to much..

  • shame on them for whoring out Marilyn's name so corporate giant McD's can get a lousy dollar

  • Somehow I don't think Marilyn even went to McDonald's.lol

  • what the hell?
