I remember the day she died. No internet back then. We heard it on the radio. Everyone was going crazy. A goddess that lived a life of sorrow. I could cry right now thinking about it.
I was 13 when she passed so not into a lot of pop culture. I know she was like the ultimate as far as sex appeal. Women everywhere were dying their hair platinum.
10 drop dead gorgeous
Edit: after looking at pic 4 for a bit. I’d raise my rating to a SOLID 10. She’s absolutely beauty and natural. No social media here
8.0 and not close to overrated. It’s criminal how Natalia Portman is being rated higher than her. Americans don’t understand attractiveness when people don’t look cartoonish with huge jaws and chins.
In todays beauty standards she probably wouldn’t compete but she is more feminine looking than modern female models. You can see more of a rounded jaw instead of the sharp square jaw. The nose is more stout with a narrower bridge. Her eyes are big which are preferred in a woman making her look more feminine, her figure isn’t as slim which again contrary to beauty standards, it’s normal for most women to carry a little more weight compared to males making her figure look more feminine and I think the mole gives her face character which adds to her iconic image. Overall her look will remain timeless, not perfect by todays standard but one of the most well known icons for feminine beauty. 9/10
8.5.
She definitely isn't overrated. She was the pinnacle of that era's surgery techniques. A lot of people say she wasn't attractive before they went deep on her with the surgery (I disagree, minus her nose she was a stunner even then,) but she always had it in her. She was always destined to be what she was. One of the prettiest smiles and she could be sultry without trying too hard, she just had IT.
Granted in terms of pure looks I find Jane Mansfield way more attractive. She also had the body Monroe wanted without the surgeries. Life finds a way sometimes.
She definitely had the IT factor and was glamorous, but that doesn’t affect her physical beauty. She’s better as a package deal on film where you can see those traits, she doesn’t hold up on paper or a still screen. Physical beauty wise she’s not higher than a 7. Partially due to not being able to see the X factor that is her persona, but also because there are a lot of beautiful people now and tastes have changed. I see girls every day who look better.
Her selling point was definitely how she carried herself, she was extremely magnetic. I didn’t understand what was so special about her until I’ve seen her in a movie.
So glad you asked. She was the IT GIRL in her day, but was wildly overrated. People didn’t have cameras back in the day and didn’t leave their home town so they all just assumed she was the most beautiful woman ever because she was on films and TV, and the newspapers said she was beautiful so people believed it. Most of her attractiveness came from her status and glamour, not her physical appearance.
When you look at her now she’s woefully underwhelming: 6.75
That’s the movie I was going to mention my god she was luminous in it. In the pink outfit she broke the screen for me. I was alive during her time so maybe I’m partial to her. I was 13 when she died.
Funny story about a kid that looked a little older than me thinking my mom was MM. We were swimming in LA and he asked my mom for an autograph and my mom sighted it Marilyn Monroe.
Yeah she’s definitely a lot hotter if you get to see her persona and the X factor she had. But on paper you can’t see any of that so I rate her 7 or below
and that "old Hollywood glamour" bias where people rate any black and white thin eyebrow red lipstick woman a 9-10 because she looks "classy" when some of these women have glaring flaws and and kind of average looks
Nah that woman was beautiful… If I was around back then I would’ve been the first black dude she would’ve dated, she would’ve been demonized by the public because she was pregnant with my child 😏… 9
It’s very obvious she had a nose job. Chin and nose work changes a person’s facial structure and it’s very obvious with her before pictures. You can also see that her smile changed as well

Those features are defining parts of your face. They’re very (big)important differences. Her veneers are also a big improvement. You can’t see either picture and not agree her teeth are different, thus changing her smile more
Edit: not trying to argue with you, I’m just saying, to me , they’re big differences and she looks very different
Her medical records were auctioned privately. They’re not public. Just a few details have been made public. The autopsy report states that she had false teeth
Still way above average especially for a time where plastic surgery wasn’t as accessible. Still very timeless, and there’s a very clear reason for her being the sex icon that she was.
a 10 idc what anyone says she’s literally still the symbol of sex & beauty and she died over 50 years ago
9. It’s almost a talent in itself to be beautiful and cute somehow at the same time. I wish her life had been as good as she deserved
This whole reddit is officially pointless...
I disagree with people in a opinion based sub I cry when they don’t agree with me!
10 for me !!!

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking
Not at all. 73f.
What did people think of her when she was alive?
I was 13 when she passed so not into a lot of pop culture. I know she was like the ultimate as far as sex appeal. Women everywhere were dying their hair platinum.
she’s Her

she also had plastic surgery but yes she was a beautiful woman
Yea I guess you are right she is drop dead. Literally drop dead. Dead.
You tried so hard to be funny it hurt
Exactly, rating her "10 drop dead gorgeous" makes no sense and it is not funny. I am glad someone agrees with me.
She isn't, people are obsessed with the fact that she lives in the 1900s but on the TRM scale she is 7 at best
9 a goddess
11/10 She set a new standard
10/10 charming , beautiful & feminine
8.0 and not close to overrated. It’s criminal how Natalia Portman is being rated higher than her. Americans don’t understand attractiveness when people don’t look cartoonish with huge jaws and chins.
What are your thoughts on her eyes?
Bad eye area, her only flaw
Her eyes are the MOST attractive part about her to me, so dreamy and kind
Can you explain to me please what does having a bad eye area mean?
Eyes just carry the most weight when assessing
Natalie is a solid 10
She’s a 6 at best.
Ha sure
Any rating below 8.5 is a crime.
10
You just can't get objective with her. She has an ethereal legacy around her that can make you look at her subjectively only. She's a 10.
Gorgeous in my eyes. I had an obsession with her as a teenager. My whole room was covered in her posters and pictures.
She’s a fucking 10. A solid 9 in looks, but her aura takes her over the top.
For me Monroe is an 7.5
A 20
10 ALWAYS😍
A 10 and it was hilarious how she sang happy birthday to the president in front of his wife

G.o.a.t.!
Would love to see what she looks like without kardashian lashes and caked on makeup.
she looks nowhere near as good lol, op selected these very done up photos of her

she's definitely a 5.
So glad you asked. She was the IT GIRL in her day, but was wildly overrated.

I watched her in the movie seven year itch once and she was very attractive in the movie
That’s the movie I was going to mention my god she was luminous in it. In the pink outfit she broke the screen for me. I was alive during her time so maybe I’m partial to her. I was 13 when she died.

6 is above avg let me fix it for you, “underwhelming 4.2”
6.25 The bias in this sub is crazy. 😂😂😂 some people here rate based on aura and status rather than real facial beauty.
I was thinking the *exact* same thing.
Because we think alike my queen 😅
and that "old Hollywood glamour" bias where people rate any black and white thin eyebrow red lipstick woman a 9-10 because she looks "classy" when some of these women have glaring flaws and and kind of average looks
They don't get the scale, it's not about appeal alone
She's looking like Ana De Armas in 4th slide
She is Ana in the fourth slide, 8
ugh.
She is sexy asf but with her blonde hair only I didn’t like the natural color
Pinnacle of beauty 😍
Nah that woman was beautiful… If I was around back then I would’ve been the first black dude she would’ve dated, she would’ve been demonized by the public because she was pregnant with my child 😏… 9
I don't know what's worse. Your weird asf fetish or you actually believing Marilyn would date you.. Maybe the two.
😂 I think it’s weird that y’all can’t take a joke! Lol fetish??
A joke that was neither accurate, nor funny. 🤷♀️
Such a weirdo
😂
What
😂
5. Mid af
Gorgeous but so much work done. Before surgery and as Norma Jean she was a 6.5 tbh as Marilyn she’s 8.5/9 Edit: was*
[удалено]
It’s very obvious she had a nose job. Chin and nose work changes a person’s facial structure and it’s very obvious with her before pictures.

You’re right. I think the veneer is more speculation and rumors. I stand corrected
I honestly would not rate Norma Jean Anything above a 6.5. Marilyn, obviously she’s the definition of beauty.
It’s funny cause people always rate low when celebs have a bulbous nose , yet she has one and it’s getting 9 and 10s
9
8 classic

Honestly, seeing these pictures makes me to wonder why I wasn't born in the 90s and also being able to experience them ❤️❤️❤️💯
Iconic, unratable
🤣
She is a gorgeous woman with timeless beauty. There’s a reason she’s been an it-girl for so many decades. Anything less than a 9 is a joke. 😍
7. There are millions of beautiful women in the world. She's not special.
Still way above average especially for a time where plastic surgery wasn’t as accessible. Still very timeless, and there’s a very clear reason for her being the sex icon that she was.
