I've always been a fan of Marilyn but who wasn't? I'll never forget seeing my first centerfold of her when I was probably eight or nine years old.
My buddy's dad had the centerfold in his garage and I made sure every time I visited to go look at it or should I say gawk!
And yes as everybody knows Marilyn Monroe was Hugh Hefner's first centerfold and this REALLY launched Playboy.
The rest as they say is History.
But I did not know this.
It's on the interweb so it must be true!
Here's movie sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe, in a pink outfit at home - taken in 1952. Sure Marilyn was beautiful, but did you know her IQ was measured at 168 - which is higher than Albert Einstein. When the camera weren't rolling she loved reading and listening to Beethoven, Mozart, and Louis Armstrong.
Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, Monroe started her modeling career with her naturally brown hair. Later she had some cosmetic surgery done on her chin and nose. For twelve years after her death in 1962, people would still take flowers to her grave on a regular basis. Marilyn was buried in her favorite green Pucci dress.

And yes there have been many beauty queens before and after Marilyn, but really she is at the top--she broke the mold.
Such a bummer on how it all ended, talk about conspiracy theories.
Another one of my ol favorites back in the day was the fiery redhead of Ann Margret.
I loved when she starred in that movie and she rode around on the motorcycle with no helmet while at the controls.
The movie Executives did not care they just wanted to get the shot.
They sure don't make them like they used to....
Since you got me drooling over these classic beauties I must say Natalie Wood was one of the prettiest girls I’ve ever seen. Another one gone way too soon
I am never going to buy the theory she just fell off a boat while docked in a Catalina Marina.
What is it with these once in a lifetime Beauties who get hooked up with Rich and powerful men and when things go south they suddenly die?
What a shame as we all lost out.
Thank God some still made it out alive and yeah you're right Ann-Margret still looks great in Grumpy Old Man and so did Sophia Loren.
Fast forward to me being 19 and working my first job in the industry as a union Sound Editing Apprentice. I worked at a company called Soundelux who was doing a good chunk of the movies in the early 90's when I was there.
So, I had to make a run to the ADR stage to help set up a session with Walter Matthau and when I walked in she was finishing her session. It was already a childhood dream come true, but when she was done she came out and gave me and the ADR Mixer hugs. I had to sit for a minute or two after she left.
I love to hear stories like that...someone like her taking the time to give out hugs ???
70’s - Farrah Fawcett, Lynda Carter, Genevieve Bujold
80’s - Princess Diabs, Sheena Easton, Stevie Nicks
90’s - Courtney Cox, Jennifer Anniston
But after this there seems to be a change.
She played a different role she wasn't the ditzy blonde it was actually a pretty good movie done in 1954 with Robert Mitchum.
Damn she was one of a kind talk about an hourglass figure!
Still today she is a total knockout @55yrs old.
How ya feeling, Scottie?

Good one Mav believe it or not I was just thinking of this thread yesterday.
Thanks for bringing it alive!!!
Where is BMSOB, he agrees with me!
All these guys lurking from the sidelines, bite the bullet and get back on, MOTOGP about to start!
And you are correct I love the old days when women were women and men were men.
Has someone invented time travel yet?
