After watching so many clips of her I have just realized you can be fat and beautiful at the same time!
Why do we always complain about our weight?
Can't we just look good and feel good no matter how much we weight?

as long as a person is healthy, if a person is overwight because of unhealthy habits then that is not a good thing.

I agree, she definitely looked a lot better when she lost the weight. At least when she lost the weight she still looked very healthy.

She was nasty regardless of weight... Excuse me for speaking ill of the dead...
But did you know that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14... She was stunning!

Based on these measurements, she's no 14.

Quote:

Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches
Weight: 118-140 pounds
Bust: 35-37 inches
Waist: 22-23 inches
Hips: 35-36 inches
Bra size: 36D

A woman of Marilyn's height, at the extreme of Marilyn's weight range (140 lbs), would probably wear a size 12 dress today (which is the same dress size listed for Marilyn in the book The Unabridged Marilyn). Perhaps at one time she did wear dresses that might have been considered size 16 (or even 18) back in the 1950s, but she almost certainly did not wear dresses equivalent to today's size 16. This is borne out by citings such as the following (which might also be a source of some confusion, as a British size 16 would be the equivalent of an American size 12):

Yup, that is confusing.
I got that she was a size 14 out of an article that showed her picture to plastic surgeons to see what they would alter if she was around today... Quite a bit, actually.

Her waist is definitely very small, but her hips aren't going to fit into size 2 clothing.

I saw a site that debunked internet myths where they had a woman who was a size 12 try on one of Marilyn's famous dresses. She couldn't begin to zip it.

years ago when I inherited some dresses from my shopper-aunt a'h, I saw the tags on the new items. What was a 12 in the 50's and 60's is like a 6 or 8 today. The fashion industry made the clothes bigger but kept the number- for vanity's sake?
