The problem is as I know a lot about Marilyn, I see past her looks and see her as a person… A beautiful and kind human being. And I think that helps her in being beautiful. I think there are so many beautiful Old Hollywood stars… I can’t think of anyone from 1940s-1960s who wasn’t truly beautiful physically. I mean even when i would think “that person isn’t that pretty or good looking” I would see them in a film and be stunned by their physical presence. But yes I guess I would say I find her the most stunning but only based on knowledge of her personality and her on screen presence.

Exactly! Marilyn’s scandals were based on things which people don’t even realise were a big deal back then such a posing nude under a false name and wearing clothes a little tighter than others. People then assume she slept around which she didn’t, and even if she did it wasn’t publicised. It’s what people did in the 1950s and 1960s. I don’t get why people assume it was an era of the prim and proper! Xx
