8 myths about the main blonde of world cinema Marilyn Monroe (6 photos)

The world's greatest movie beauty Marilyn Monroe became a legend during her lifetime and became the most seductive woman in Hollywood!





Myth No. 1: Marilyn Monroe had six toes on her foot!

The rumors were sparked by a photo of Monroe posing in a bathing suit. Looking at the photo, it seemed as if the blonde had an extra toe on her left foot. Evil tongues claimed that after becoming famous, the actress had the "defect" removed. In fact, this is not true: in her childhood photos, the actress has exactly five toes on her left foot. The myth was either due to a less than ideal camera angle or sand stuck to the beauty's leg.



Myth #2: The actress wore size 54 clothes!

Norma Jean Baker, as Monroe was called at birth, was not skinny and did not go on strict diets. But she never wore size 16 clothes, as was often said during her lifetime. The fashion editor of The Times newspaper dispelled the rumor when she had a chance to try on Marilyn's clothes.

"Quite the contrary," wrote Sarah Bice. — Although she was undoubtedly an appetizing girl, had a lush chest and wide hips, at the beginning of her career she was only a size 8. Even during the periods of greatest fullness, her size was no more than a size 10."

Myth No. 3: Marilyn Monroe had from 12 to 40 abortions!

This rumor is difficult to call true, at least because Monroe really dreamed of becoming a mother. In her youth, during an operation to remove her appendix, Marilyn put a letter for the surgeon on her stomach. In it, the actress begged him not to damage her female organs. In addition, information about abortions was denied by Monroe's doctor Leon Kron. It is reliably known that the actress suffered two miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy. But she did not have abortions.





Myth #4: The secret to Monroe's "wiggling" gait is a congenital defect!

The actress herself never talked about why Monroe loved to wiggle her hips. She ironically said that no one "taught" her how to walk. Evil tongues claimed that one of the actress's legs was allegedly shorter than the other, and Monroe simply could not walk "normally". This is not true: there is evidence that Marilyn filed her heels for the sake of her sexy gait. According to the socialite journalist Jimmy Starr, this is what gave her gait an "unforgettable sway."



Myth No. 5: Marilyn had an affair with both Kennedy brothers!

According to gossip, Marilyn Monroe was the lover of two Kennedys at once: the politician brothers John and Robert. They said that in connection with this, the actress was even allowed access to secret US documents, and she managed to collect dirt on the American government! It sounds sensational, but none of Marilyn Monroe's biographers could confirm these facts. According to them, Monroe could have had a sexual affair with John Kennedy, but she was just friends with Robert.



Myth #6: Monroe's breasts looked impressive thanks to plastic surgeons!

Marilyn had plastic surgery on her nose and chin, but she really did have a lush chest by nature. There is a theory that the actress decided to trust her bust to surgeons a few months before her death. However, in the pictures from her very last photo shoot, Monroe's breasts look as natural as possible - no signs of silicone.



Myth #7: Marilyn Monroe was a great actress!

In fact, her only award is the Golden Globe for her role in Some Like It Hot. Her career is somewhat reminiscent of the professional fate of the first Hollywood platinum blonde Jean Harlow, who was more of a sex symbol than an actress.

Monroe was not given complex dramatic roles, and to film the famous scene “It’s me, darling” (from the same comedy Some Like It Hot), according to colleagues, the actress needed as many as 60 takes - they say she had a hard time memorizing the lines. In her autobiography, Marilyn wrote:

My illusions had nothing to do with being a great actress. I knew how third-rate I was. Marilyn Monroe

Myth No. 8: Tinker Bell from Peter Pan was based on Monroe!

A thin waist, a lush chest, voluminous hips, white hair - the fairy Tinker Bell from the cartoon "Peter Pan" really does resemble Marilyn Monroe. Biographers of the actress have repeatedly noted this striking resemblance. But there is no evidence that it was Monroe who posed for the artists of the Disney studio. Animation experts call another actress - Margaret Carey - the prototype of the sorceress.
