She was so much prettier without the makeup. I never thought she was attractive at all, just an example of the ideal of beauty from the '50s that I never would have subscribed to. Here, though, I see that she really was a natural beauty. She reminds me a lot of Pink in the first picture.
When did this become news? This is nothing to the photo shopping they do on models these days... As a former makeup artist, nothing you see on TV or print is real. Ungodly amounts of primer and makeup is used to practically create a new face...its pretty scary actually. Marilyn was beautiful either way..
Jamie Lee Curtis once did a "what a 40 something looks like" photo series. It was rather amazing the amount of change that took place. Her purpose was to show how fake what you see on the screen is. There is also a transformation floating on the web somewhere that shows a model getting made up and turned into a billboard. If the model was standing in front of you and the billboard was in your line of sight, you'd never recognize her.
Marilyn Monroe wasn't a natural beauty and she wasn't stunning but she was very very pretty, and their is something about her to this day which still makes her a beauty an icon to many people and someone girls compare to. I'm not sure if it was beacuse she was extremley photogenic or that her smile is proberley the best smiles i have ever seen but she sure did have something, and to put this picture of her on here with out makeup on sure i'll give you my opnion she looks ugly it's not because she's ugly without makeup but it's because she was obviously making a silly face, she was in the pool being a normal person having some fun not looking her best and we all know women these days wouldn't look any better.. marilyn obviously had something i'm not suprised if she does have one bad photo!
