When you're Marilyn Monroe, a bag of potatoes will do (5 photos)

It was enough for Marilyn to just go out into the street, onto the stage, but at least into the store and all eyes turned to her. Only on her. Star, an icon, an object of desire for millions. How could you wear such the obvious beauty of a potato sack?





At the FPAH Awards party where Monroe was nominated for the award Henrietta, Monroe came in breathtaking red from Oleg Cassini, which, incidentally, was designed by Jacqueline Kennedy.



At the Del Mar club, the actress shone brightest of all. Yes, even in the nomination won, so everything was better than ever. Here is just one of the journalists was so outraged by her "vulgar" way that she dashed off an article, where she wrote that it was better the actress put on a bag from under potatoes than to look so vulgar and cheap.



Monroe could not miss such a chance and decided to dress up just in potato sack. William Travila, costume designer, ripped such a bag of the company "Idaho Potatoes", sewed a dress, and then in the studio 20th Century Fox did a photo shoot for Marilyn.



Photos of Queen Marilyn in a potato sack were published in over 400 publications. Sales of printed products increased by 40%, and the farmers of Idaho (where the bag was from) barely managed to ship potatoes.



Well, Marilyn again proved how good she is!
