Oh my god. She's so freaking beautiful. Love her voice. She's so classy and amazing. Would loved to be like or looked like her. Like there's no words to describe her. Because she's perfect. Love all her movies , love her style and JUST love her. Wished she was here, to see how she would of looked! I'm sure more beautiful then ever. XO
i think marilyn's husband in this film is dealing with her quite well. if she was my girlfriend...(i pause for quick daydream) then i would be a nervous wreck.
the couple taking the photos "she sure has got an armful of groceries" husband delay into big cheesy grin. when was this film made early 60s?. were people really like that,i thought it was just soap commercials, where life polite and rosy, but this is a character film, i presume, so were people really that err... wholesome then, only 50 years ago, but then same gap from them to stuffy edwardians same 50yrs. oh man our grandkids are gonna be so lairy and lewd, ..Maybe swing in tother direction?
She was one of the most beautiful women of our time. Sophisticated, demure, and the most sexy woman ever to grace our planet. What a lovely voice she had as well. She was at her best in this film. Sad she died so young. x

If anybody knows anbody who is interested in buying a house where Marilyn stayed while she was in Bement Illinois in 1955 let me know! My wife and I own the home and it is up for sale!
Man ! Poor Joseph Cotton really got pissed off ! Guess Marilyn must have been doing one of her no no's. I gotta buy the DVD! If not for the story, then atleast for that RED DRESS ! WOO- WOOOOOH! ! !
thats the coloring they used to do on the old black and white photos. my middle school teacher was like 58 and she brought some old photos of herself and they had that coloring thing. but anyways... marilyn was blonde when she was a little girl. and then her hair started to get darker, but not as far as brunette, i guess u could call it ash brown or blonde.
no, she wasnt a total brunette, she was more of a dirty blonde, but in the old photos she looks more like a brunette. she said it herself in a interview.
The plastic surgery she had was very minor, and even if she didn't have the same dazzling beauty without the makeup and the glamorous clothes, she was a very good-looking woman. In my opinion, Marilyn was even more beautiful without the makeup, especially in her later years. There have been many girls who had the same help from talented makeup men, airbrushers and photographers she had, but no one who stands out the way she does from pictures. But then of course, that's just my opinion :)
Kandiiqueen, her quote is: "for a dress like that you have to start laying plans when you're about 13". I guess she means mentally planning on developing those curves (puberty) because the brunette knows she couldn't fill up the top. That's just my guess but I don't see any other explanation.
...start laying plans when you are about 13.' It means that you have to develop a body that will fill out the dress in such a hot way. No point in wearing a dress like that if you don't have the figure for it. So it's a joke: when you hit puberty, start 'planning' the kind of body you will have when you are old enough to wear a dress like that.
Yes! Just what I was thinking. I went looking at comments to see if anyone else wondered about that incredible lipstick. She must lay it on with a trowel.
@makeuptipsy My mother had some lipstick (more of a lip stain) like that in the '50s. It really did last for days. Everything now is designed to wear off in 5 seconds just so companies can sell more :-(.
marilyn was different it wasn't just about her looks, it was something she projected. her acting was suberp it's just that the company used her. if you don't like marilyn don't watch her movies and complain!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Marilyn's thing was simply that she was beautiful. She couldn't really act, if we're being serious - best you could say is she's passable. Her sexuality WAS extremely exaggerated and artificial. She was just a beautiful girl who photographed well, so that when she put on all those Hollywood sex-goddess mannerisms, people bought it. The only reason to watch this movie is to look at her...lol.
I agree with alot you said, but I actually liked the movie. I like Joseph Cotten and the cinematography. Love the bell version of Kiss too. Nobody looked better in a pink dress either.

You're such an a-hole for the logo. I mean, really - you're an a-hole. Person who didn't mind the logo? Idiot. Sorry toots/chappie - but you probably wouldn't mind an add pasted to your forehead.
The logo comes from the media converter program. Marilyntkm didn't put the logo there on purpose, it comes up when you use the trial version of the programme.
In Marilyns younger pics she looked like a red head to me. I think thats why the blonde suited her so well. When she was a child she said she had white hair.
i didn't mean that colors do, but usually brunettes are smarter!
Besides not all blonds do have "special effect" on people unless they are PRETTY!
famous or not, blond or not, pretty or ugly, MARILYN MONROE is the only actress of whom i NEVER get tired of watching, even if her hair was dyed blue!
"i didn't mean that colors do, but usually brunettes are smarter!"
Hair colour has nothing to do with intelligence.
"famous or not, blond or not, pretty or ugly, MARILYN MONROE is the only actress of whom i NEVER get tired of watching, even if her hair was dyed blue!"
I respect your opinion but could you imagine Marilyn being the same iconic bombshell if she remained brunette? I disagree. Her hair colour had a lot to do with her image and appeal.
No, but there are a number of factors necessary for the 'bombshell persona'. Blonde hair is one of them. When you hear mention of the famous bombshells (Jean, Jayne, Mamie), a brunette is not one of them.
There is no standardized definition for what makes a 'bombshell'. Many people dislike Jean Harlow's looks, and she is a bombshell. Mamie Van Doren wasn't a talented actress, yet she is a bombshell. When Mae West got out of shape she still remained a bombshell. However when referring to bombshells, it is only the blondes who are mentioned. Though I agree having a voluptuous figure (natural or not) is also a necessary requirement.
Oh, I see. So a person's mental capabilities is definable by their hair color? Do you have scientific proof to back that up?
As a natural blonde myself, I find it insulting that a lot of people automatically assume that blondes (dyed or not) are less intelligent than brunettes or redheads for that matter. I was born with this hair color and have kept it, which is extremely rare in the world today, which is a source of tremendous pride for me. I agree that blondes do have something special
So what about famous brunettes? Liz Taylor, Ava Gardner, Gene Tierney, Vivien Leigh, Natalie Wood (just to name a few). I'm huge Marilyn fan but it wasn't her blonde hair that made her famous but certain charisma and sex appeal that some women do possess (blondes or not).

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no way. I think ANYONE of average appearance (which Marylin was inderneath all the make up) could have found fame back then if they were brave enough to act 'racy' as she did. dye hair crazy blonde & wear red lip colour! She was OUTERAGEOUS at the time.
& her 'sexyness' is very theatrical & like a cross dresser - not at all subtle. Exagerated & fake. Her snarling mouth & too aware syes. It's stupid to over estimate what she was...
Something men never saw before, shameless in her time......
Marilyn was hardly 'outrageous'; She was sexy for her time, but nothing compared to the likes of Mae West and Jean Harlow in the 20's and 30's or Bettie Paige in 50's. Men had long before seen the sex appeal Marilyn sold; they do half a century later and are still affected by it. Your claim that anyone could have found fame as MM did is highly arguable; hordes of girls worked for what Marilyn did and used just as many means. As for her sexiness not being 'subtle', that is entirely relative.
Marilyn was quite outrageous for the time. In the mid fifties when she was fed up with the way she was treated by Fox she defied them and in turn caused the first major cracks in the Studio System. And by defying her studio with whom she had a contract she was considered very outrageous at the time & the famous pose she did for The Seven Year Itch in '55 was considered quite outrageous too. Perhaps she wasn't like Mae & Jean but she's still remembered today which is what's really important.
why has everyone disapproved with what this person has said? marilyn monroe was beautiful but it wasn't really her, her eyebrows her hair her nose her chin they wern't even her eyelashes! she was beautiful but wasnt natural her features stood out with makeup she looked nothing like she did with her curly hair before she was famous, and i reckon she looked way differently personaly photos were airbrushed edited and film had different lightings, we have opioons doesnt mean we are aganist her
well, i guess you havent seen her photos without make up and with her hair not brushed, she looks even better, search for the photos, i guess they are from 1960 or so. her skin was flawless even with no make up.
@izbiz24 Hundreds of pictures exist of Norma Jeane the model and starlet. She was a very pretty girl. She HAD to be to BECOME a popular model and starlet. Her procedures were minor, and the chin implant actually disolved in a few years and she didn't bother replacing it. The greatest "natural" beauties of Hollywood were all "improved" in one was or another. That's how it was then, and that's how it is now. Why is MM the one who gets trashed for it?
She didn't have a 'snarling' mouth. When she smiled, she tended to show too much gums (she has a short filtrum - the part between the upper lip and the nose). She was always trying to bring her upper lip down a bit, so she didn't show gums, and it resulted in that characteristic 'thing' she does with her upper lip. I find it kind of fascinating, a quirk that no one else has, and no Marilyn impersonator can possibly do without if she wants to seem authentic.
although I don't really judge people by hair color, i do think that part of the reason she may have been more famous because she was blond is that the exact shade she had was less common than alot of other hair colors. i believe that the only hair color that would've made her more famous is red because it's the rarest of all the colors.
actually, marilyn's natural hair color was dark blond. as a child her hair color was pale plond and darkened to dirty blond as she grew older. as a movie star, her hair became white platinum blond.
Out of this world ! Marilyn was one of the most beautiful women ever existed on this earth, her body was GREAT, and how she walked ! her walking, her poses, the luminous of that face, her beauty was unbeleivable

no way. I think ANYONE of average appearance (which Marylin was inderneath all the make up) could have found fame back then if they were brave enough to act 'racy' as she did. dye hair crazy blonde & wear red lip colour! She was OUTERAGEOUS at the time.
& her 'sexyness' is very theatrical & like a cross dresser - not at all subtle. Exagerated & fake. Her snarling mouth & too aware syes. It's stupid to over estimate what she was...
Something men never saw before, shameless in her time......

Marilyn was hardly 'outrageous'; She was sexy for her time, but nothing compared to the likes of Mae West and Jean Harlow in the 20's and 30's or Bettie Paige in 50's. Men had long before seen the sex appeal Marilyn sold; they do half a century later and are still affected by it. Your claim that anyone could have found fame as MM did is highly arguable; hordes of girls worked for what Marilyn did and used just as many means. As for her sexiness not being 'subtle', that is entirely relative.

Marilyn was quite outrageous for the time. In the mid fifties when she was fed up with the way she was treated by Fox she defied them and in turn caused the first major cracks in the Studio System. And by defying her studio with whom she had a contract she was considered very outrageous at the time & the famous pose she did for The Seven Year Itch in '55 was considered quite outrageous too. Perhaps she wasn't like Mae & Jean but she's still remembered today which is what's really important.

why has everyone disapproved with what this person has said? marilyn monroe was beautiful but it wasn't really her, her eyebrows her hair her nose her chin they wern't even her eyelashes! she was beautiful but wasnt natural her features stood out with makeup she looked nothing like she did with her curly hair before she was famous, and i reckon she looked way differently personaly photos were airbrushed edited and film had different lightings, we have opioons doesnt mean we are aganist her

well, i guess you havent seen her photos without make up and with her hair not brushed, she looks even better, search for the photos, i guess they are from 1960 or so. her skin was flawless even with no make up.

@izbiz24 Hundreds of pictures exist of Norma Jeane the model and starlet. She was a very pretty girl. She HAD to be to BECOME a popular model and starlet. Her procedures were minor, and the chin implant actually disolved in a few years and she didn't bother replacing it. The greatest "natural" beauties of Hollywood were all "improved" in one was or another. That's how it was then, and that's how it is now. Why is MM the one who gets trashed for it?

She didn't have a 'snarling' mouth. When she smiled, she tended to show too much gums (she has a short filtrum - the part between the upper lip and the nose). She was always trying to bring her upper lip down a bit, so she didn't show gums, and it resulted in that characteristic 'thing' she does with her upper lip. I find it kind of fascinating, a quirk that no one else has, and no Marilyn impersonator can possibly do without if she wants to seem authentic.

I thought she looked great with her original red hair. She just looked great period I guess.

her hair was naturally brown, not red. She did have red hair at one point and she looked beautiful.

although I don't really judge people by hair color, i do think that part of the reason she may have been more famous because she was blond is that the exact shade she had was less common than alot of other hair colors. i believe that the only hair color that would've made her more famous is red because it's the rarest of all the colors.

her hair was naturally dark red, auburn, like her mothers. She had a good deal of freckles & very fair skin in her youth

actually, marilyn's natural hair color was dark blond. as a child her hair color was pale plond and darkened to dirty blond as she grew older. as a movie star, her hair became white platinum blond.
