Marilyn without make up!

[BinkieBaumont]

A Touching Tribute, with many pictures of a young Marilyn and a glimpse of before and after, with and without makeup!

As a brunette she reminds one, of Esther Williams?

Ohh, I love Marilyn. I'll have to watch that video later.

Thank you for posting this. What a beautiful lady at every stage.

Thanks for sharing! I think I actually prefer Marilyn as a brunette.

 

[Miss Golightly]

I just love Marilyn - she was pure magic!

Thank you for posting!

she has gotta be naturally curly.

She was so photogenic, wasn't she, with or without makeup, blonde or brunette?

I was a bit unnerved after watching so many pictures pass by of her, so gorgeous and full of life, and then that penultimate shot of her grave...shudder.

What I'd like to see more clearly the difference between pre and post plastic surgery. She had some sort of work done on I think her nose and also her chin. You can see a difference, but you can't see what it is.

Amazing. She had a very "girl next door" as a brunette.

Marilyn did indeed get a nosejob and an implant in her chin (which apparently disolved over time) in the early 1950's - you can see the change here:

Gorgeous before and after......

Ohhh . . . so a slightly shortened nose and a slightly sharpened chin. Subtle, but extremely effective!

Exactly - Marilyn never denied that she had plastic surgery in fact she is quoted as saying that she wanted to "be loyal to the face I have made".

Brunette Marilyn is even lovelier, for my money, than the icon.

Here's one you'll all like - a fall theme and classic denim too.

Fletch - beautiful photo - I love her as a brunette too (sometimes it looked like she had a tinge of red too). All the photos that Andre de Dienes took of her were stunning - here's another one:

Just looking at her photos makes you feel better right away. She was a one off and there will never be anyone like her again, she seems to be lit up from the inside somehow, she just glows.

That's lovely and so true! My little girl (who is 7 months old) LOVES this large photo I have of Marilyn on our bedroom wall (the Milton Greene ballerina one) - she looks at it every morning and just beams! I said it before - when you look at photos of Marilyn with people everyone is smiling - she just seems to have that effect on people - like here:

My daughter's name is Marilyn and she has that "make everyone smile thing" just like Marilyn Monroe. =D

Really gorgeous! I've never seen this photo, and like others, have a ton of Marilyn books. I think she looked amazing brunette and blonde, but I definitely prefer her pre-surgery, pre-icon look. Always a looker!
