Fellow long time Marilyn Monroe fan here! A few notes from having read numerous books and watched countless documentaries about her (plus most of her films starting with Don’t Bother to Knock, Niagara and on): * The Bluebook Agency referred to her as “the chinless wonder”, that’s what Aly was referencing in that section about her chin implant. * I agree it was likely Lytesse (sp?) who taught Marilyn to move her mouth & face that way. She was also doing her own version of the Old Hollywood “transcontinental” accent, which made her pronunciation a bit funny, since there was a some British influence to it. She was following trends of that era, though Marilyn’s version sounded kind of cheesecake/cutesy. The accent can be heard clearly in Katherine Hepburn, as an example. Or she could have been copying her idol & the reason MM started acting, Jean Harlow. I don’t recall if Aly mentioned her here… However, once she began work in The Actor’s Studio, focusing on method acting (similar to Marlon Brando, Heath Ledger, etc.) she learned how to act in her roles in a more natural, easy way. She still added unique touches to her characters but she looks a lot less stilted, more organic. Sadly, the method was overwhelming to her fragile psyche, and it took her down a dark road psychologically, which worsened her mood swings and trauma-related struggles. 😔 * Regarding her being called “The most beautiful woman in the world” and how some commenters are saying “they don’t agree/don’t see it.” It’s possible you may be missing the point: There have been *countless* physically attractive, even gorgeous, women actors in Hollywood. Like, they’re aesthetically more pleasing to you than MM, especially given that beauty standards have shifted across the decades. (though they remain difficult or unattainable, as always 😑) Yet…there is a biopic coming out about MM’s life and career as we speak. There seems to be one coming out at least once a decade. Her style and aesthetic is replicated repeatedly by Hollywood actors/musicians in photo shoots, etc. Yet most of those other famous beautiful actors can’t say the same. So is she the most beautiful? If not, then why are we so drawn to her as a society? That’s what got me curious about her. What made her iconic? I believe we are attracted to her (aka, find her attractive, literally and figuratively) because of her energy and how she emits that at the camera and on the screen. In movie scenes, the eye naturally gravitates to her if she’s on screen. She portrays a sense of innocence and softness alongside her sexual image. And that juxtaposition is rare. She was also very publicly vulnerable in an era when most stars managed to keep their struggles a secret. And she did refine her look to a T, and had immense control of her image in most of her films, as well as how each role was played. She was also the first woman in Hollywood to own a production studio. She was terrified of being filmed, but loved being photographed, but she still stayed in acting. By the way, I don’t recall her ever referring to herself as “the most beautiful.” She knew and talked about being a sex icon, how it’s a double-edged sword and how she wanted most of all to be “a great actress.” So let’s be clear on that: she never gave herself that title. We did, as a society. * Regarding comments seeming to somewhat talk down to or make fun of Marilyn for all of the changes/tweaks she made to her body, be it through procedures or her movements/behaviors/posing: She was an artist. She was (coercively) over-medicated and deeply insecure at her worst, but she was a shrewd business woman at her best. She was meticulous with her appearance, and she studied her craft and perfected her instrument (for an actor, that’s their body). So for us to sit here & look down on her? Do we look down on Daniel Day Lewis for his obsession with his craft? No. I admire her for going beyond the surface, and learning not just what her angles are, but studying human anatomy, and how the bones and muscles connect and move, the entire concept behind body language. Because remember, it wasn’t just about stills, she was working with movement, too. She was known for this, along with her aforementioned method acting studies with Lee Strasberg at The Actors Studio in NYC. Anyway, thanks for reading and considering my points! Clearly I love MM (Norma Jean Baker’s creation!) as a person, thank you, Aly, for your video on this! 🤍🤍

You seem to know what you’re talking about and I am intrigued as to what created MM (I didn’t know she did a specific accent for example). I do think once people talk about how ‘everyone is talking about this!’ (even if it’s true or not) it retains and makes other people do just that. I do have a couple of questions; What books/movies/websites do you recommend about MM? And do you believe she had ingenue essence (it’s tied to Kitchener’s and Kibbe’s explanation of someone’s vibe)

​@@ricexcake143 Hi! Before I get into my recs, I just read up about the Ingenue essence, and I believe MM epitomizes it! Honestly, it's meant to be angelic, romantic and youthful. Visually, having a larger head (in proportion to her body, I can relate, haha!) she already looked a bit child-like. Psychologically, I believe Marilyn was in a kind of arrested development due to being in foster homes for so long, being effectively repeatedly abandoned as a child due to her mom's ongoing mental illness. She seems deeply in touch with her inner child, and allows her to shine through far more than many of us do (it especially came out when she was around children - you can see this in outtakes and scenes of her with 2 children in "Something's Got To Give," the final film she shot but never completed. I believe it's what makes her "dumb blonde" characters feel more likable - the honest sense that she's not taking herself too seriously, and she's a bit angelic, so you don't want to hurt her (women are even interviewed saying that about her - how she made people want to protect her. If women felt this, I can imagine men feeling it even more!) And romantic because she spoke so often of having that enduring love that she never got (to last) with any of the men she dated/married. Plus, her father was out of the picture, and she showed times of "magical thinking," with the fantasy that Clark Gable was her father. This is what makes it particularly upsetting that effin' Arthur Miller cast Gable to play her LOVE interest in The Misfits. He based a LOT of her character in that movie on her real life, even edited the character from the original screenplay to make her almost perfectly reflect MM's/Norma Jean's life. Check out the channel Be Kind Rewind, amazing reviews of academy award winning actresses across time. The channel did a piece recently on The Misfits, because it is a standout film for MM, and spoke to her progress as an actress, and also how messed up that whole shoot/set was (but only MM got backlash for it.) Tragically, shortly after the release of the film, Gable passed away of a heart attack, which was likely brought on by his old age, drinking, and insisting on doing all his own stunts in the desert heat. But people blamed MM because allegedly she was causing delays, when many others contributed to that. Do watch that video!

To be that beautiful woman that people talked about who was swimming in luxury and living the dream. People lived entire lies and honestly women weren't the only ones.

“Glorious” you said it best

The more I learn about her the more respect and admiration I have for her. The girl was DEDICATED to the performance - on screen and off. I remember reading in a book about her once, something about how she was walking down the busy streets of New York with a friend, at a time when most of America would certainly recognize her - but nobody took a second glance... Then she turns to her friend and says something like, "Do you want to see me become her?" Suddenly people were stopping and noticing, immediately recognizing her. Nobody had to name her "Most Beautiful in the World". She didn't even have to think as much herself. She simply knew how to flex, accentuate - how should I say this... If all these little efforts with pulling this muscle here, talking with a mouth shaped in this way, having her hair like this, having this thing here like that - if all of those singular things were say, keys on a piano, Then all Marilyn did was learn to play perfectly everyones favorite song. It didn't matter if you didn't like piano - you bobbed your head to the music she was playing. I hope that makes sense lol. I grew up around 8 Beautiful sisters, a mother and grandmother who wouldn't dare leave the house without makeup on, etc etc. There are just some women in the world, who know how to wield their femininity in ways that only femininity can be wielded.

You guys are being dramatic. I had the opposite problem with my smile, and fixing it took maybe 1 hour of effort.

Your videos are the best. You're so analytical and must be a very curious person by nature. You also do a great job of explaining things.

Nice video. It's crazy how focused she was on her look. But it was her job, and the job of everyone around her. These old stars were extremely intelligent women operating in a fairly hostile environment. I'm impressed by how well they did. The price of fame and riches.

Fascinating, Norma made Marilyn a work of art down to the finest detail. Superstardom is a gift and a curse, you cannot possibly be the same person after these life experiences. She was a clever woman and it wore on her being portrayed as the dumb blonde always. I will say one thing, Marilyn's plastic surgery was more tasteful than the modern starlets. Less is more when it comes to this kind of surgery. Betty Brosmer had such an amazing body that it didn't look real -- she was an early bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast.

Wow... She was absolutely tormented by her agency. Her mental health was probably in dire straits trying to keep up with this. It's borderline obsessive to look at yourself so critically (changing the way she smiles, size her forehead, her teeth color, her weight). My heart breaks for her and anyone today (celebrity and non-celebrities alike) who feels that they have to create a whole new image to be accepted or successful.

It was the studios, no agency. They paid her badly, even when she was bringing more money in than any other actor. In the mid 50s she basically did escape to NY, and did not come back for years and the studio finally gave in and let her aprove her directors. But compared to what they later paid Elisabeth Taylor for Cleopatra (don't forget that production nearly ruined the studio) it was absolutely nothing, considering she was THE star for so many years.

This was very informative! Thank for sharing all of these details. So much I didn’t know!

Fascinating. It’s very interesting to know that her beauty and glamour wasn’t effortless - and how much time and attention she put into simple things like walking and speaking

Marilyns body changed throughout her career. She went from very lean to heavy to lean again. It is pointless to say sizes because the system of sizing changed from then until now. She had a chin implant, her nose shaved and made less bulbous , she also had her teeth fixed they were shaved down and widened. She had an overbite corrected too. She had something done to her ears but Idk what. She wouldn’t let them laser her widows peak. She liked it. The studios lasered widows peak off on almost all the actresses. Rita Hayworth is one that stands out. The studios liked a high forehead and round hairline. Marilyn knew Rita before and after it was done and Marilyn felt it took away Ritas ethnic look. She lived with Shelley Winters early in her career; Shelley said Marilyn would put makeup on, and take it off endless amounts of times. She played with colors and different styles. She tried out the different makeup looks the actresses used in print ads. She also learned all about contouring and makeup for black and and color. She also practiced her looks in the mirror for hours on end. Smiling, and talking watching how her eyes and face moved. She often did her own makeup, there were few makeup artists that she trusted. She wore five different shades on her lips and used eyeliner to line them. She was very upset when she learned Some Like It Hot would be filmed in black and white. She had perfected Sugars look for color film. She used to work out with weights and run everyday. Very uncommon for women in the 40s/50s. Especially women that weren’t professional athletes. She behaved and did so many things way ahead of her time. Now many things she did are normal. Back then it was very controversial.

It's only exhausting in the beginnig. Then you get used to it and do it all automatically.

Glamour is nothing more than the art of illusion and MM was living proof of that. I always noticed that twitchy tremulous thing she would do with her upper lip too. It was one of her rather sweet idiosyncrasies… then I learned that it was actually her attempt to lower her smile and elongate the space between her nose and upper lip! Watching this reminds me how just about everything Marilyn did was contrived. I don’t know how on earth she managed to remember to do everything at once like that ( maybe that’s why she later had so much trouble remembering her lines, lol) but she certainly managed to convince everyone that it all came naturally -and that was her skill.

I even made one man blush when I gave him my new softer smile, and that has never happened before 😂 It's incredibly useful information, but no one else has any real advice for how to change your presentation for the better other than what clothes to buy and what products to use.

This was an wonderful and informative video on MM about her looks and mannerisms. I learned a lot about her, things that I didn't even know. It seems like it took many hours of hard work to look like MM. Excellent research on my fave actress.

I read that she talked with her lips to kind of draw attention to them and just her face in general. The way she moved her lips when she talked was very cute yet sensual and it was just another very calculated way of drawing people's eyes to her lips, which as everyone knows, is usually a signifier that you want to kiss someone, when you stare at their lips

Many years ago I heard a man, involved in film production, who had been on set of Marilyn's movies, say in response to a discussion about Marilyn's body shape, that "she had a thing she did with water, he intimated that he didn't know exactly what it was but he said Marilyn would leave a set on Friday & return on Monday thinner". Also, perhaps in the same documentary, the actress Shelley Winters said she & Marilyn shared an apartment when they were new to acting in Hollywood. She said Marilyn was insecure: what other people thought of her wasn't how she saw herself; others in Hollywood admired her for her beauty, her glamour & allure; women wanted to be her friend, to protect & guide her & men all wanted to date her. She was not a stranger to the "casting couch" & that didn't help her insecurity & self confidence.

Shelley Winters was her roommate when they were both starting out in Hollywood, and Shelley said that Marilyn observed how gorgeous and alluring Shelley looked when she had her lips slightly parted, head barely tilted back and keeping her eyelids lowered, which Shelley did intentionally for that desired, sultry effect. So Marilyn started replicating that. Shelley said Marilyn was hyperconscious of being beautiful at all times and couldn't stand looking anything other than perfect-- your video very much echoes that. I can't imagine contorting and controlling so many muscles in my face and thinking all of time of how to turn the body, and knees to appear the absolute best WHILE emoting and reciting lines.
