If Marilyn Monroe was a 22 year old actress today would she command the same attention she received in the Fifties?

I feel she would fit in very well.

She really was an attention focused entertainer, and in today’s Instagram and tabloid happy world, she’d be as famous online as a Kardashian. Marilyn wasn’t large, as some folks have implied, she actually wore what today would be a size 6/8, not the size 14 we often hear about and her face was still a show stopper.

Monroe was cagey enough to use her body and her demeanor to garner attention.

She doesn’t vary from Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Lawerence body type, so anyone boohooing her body is off track. Marilyn Monroe’s True Size. Her clothing tells the truth.

Her face was her meal ticket and with today’s plastic surgery skills and maintenance usages of plastic surgeons and dermatologists, she’d be a beauty still.
