Marilyn Monroe is not without reason considered a cult figure of the 20th century: this woman stirred the minds of many men, caused furious envy in women, and her charm seemed to be beyond the cold stones on the coast of Los Angeles, where on June 1, 1926, Norma was born Gene Baker.
Childhood Norma was not easy: her biological father is unknown, her mother had deviations in the psyche, which led her to a psychiatric hospital, and Norma to foster families, where she spent most of her childhood and adolescence.
All these vicissitudes of fate - wandering around families, early marriage due to the need for housing (one of the families that sheltered the Norm, moved, but there was no place for a foster child in the new house) and Norma overcame a poorly paid job easily. Her life changed greatly after the photo session at the factory, where her career began.
Initially Norma Jin had not very successful parameters - red hair with small curls and a wide nose, dressed simply - like all women of that time. But it was different from all the other charisms, which gave her an attraction and inner charm. Then only the camera of photographer David Konover could display the true essence of Norma Gin - sexuality, mixed with childishness and spontaneity. The spark in Norma's eyes could not help but fascinate thousands, and then millions of men.
The beautiful transformation of Marilyn
Speaking about the charm of Marilyn, one can not ignore the fact that not only she worked hard on herself, but also master image-makers. After she settled in the cinema, the requirements for her appearance changed - filming in films is not photographs for the calendar, and therefore external data began to be evaluated by other parameters.
First, Norma was given a different, more sonorous name - Marilyn Monroe. Then she repainted the hair in a platinum color, which made her appearance brighter, more tender and sexy. After the fire-red curls and sparkling gaze, the touching beauty of Marilyn began to look more statusful: basically, the cameras fixed two glances of Marilyn - that arrogant with a pinch that is inherent in real queens, then innocent-naive.
Following the advice of specialists, Marilyn decided on more drastic changes - plastic surgery:
- her chin was slightly increased;
- Cheekbones made more pronounced;
- have made the eyelids wider.
As a result, the face became more embossed and even more charming.
Work on yourself
Despite the efforts of stylists, image-makers and surgeons, Marilyn had to invest a lot and her strength to change:
- Every day she practiced gymnastics, which allowed to properly present the body, and then Marilyn learned a new gait, which became her business card.
- She also developed a make-up that further emphasized her beauty: today many make-up artists try to repeat it, but as perfectly as Marilyn, he has not yet come up with a single, even very beautiful model.
- Marilyn learned to speak - her roommate told me that at the beginning of her career, Marilyn was constantly talking, learning to correctly and beautifully express her thoughts. She paid special attention to the manner of speaking, and this as a result gave her the opportunity to speak with aspiration.
- Of course, Marilyn worked on her style - she chose the main range of colors and certain styles. Here she acted very strategically and correctly, but it is not known whether she came up with the idea herself, or this is the advice of the stylists.

Wardrobe by Marilyn Monroe
Speaking of the manner of dressing, you need to distinguish between the scenic and everyday image of Marilyn, despite the fact that sometimes they did not differ in meaning.
On the stage, Marilyn wore such dresses that emphasized her sexuality. For example, in the tape "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" she appeared in a bright pink long dress with a huge bow, at Kennedy's congratulation - in a tight, shiny dress with a white fur stole, in the film "In Jazz Only Girls" in a translucent beige dress, and in the film "Seven Year Itch" in a dress with a fluttering skirt, which was the last straw of Marilyn's husband's patience.
On stage, she was a queen and dressed in a royal way - with chic, glitter and sexual frankness.
In everyday life, the diva dressed simply, but with taste: her wardrobe had a mass of plain simple blouses of different colors - such clothes did not overshadow and did not distract attention from the beauty of Marilyn.
She also loved dress-sarafans that created the image of a simple village girl, but her appearance compensated for this image - platinum curls and red lipstick did not give a hint that Marilyn was plain.
If on the stage she decorated herself with huge bracelets and earrings with diamonds , then in her ordinary life there was at least a minimum of ornaments.
Anyone who thinks that Marilyn was wearing only sexy clothes is mistaken - she could be seen in a white shirt with jeans , a warm wool cardigan, a black skirt up to her knees, but she always wore heels if she went out on business.
