Frankie ✅If your default mental photo of Marilyn Monroe is an over-saturated glamour shot of her with her mouth open, please take a moment to replace it with this one of her giving zero fucks about some bears eating garbage. 1953

@Some_Emo_Chick if given no context I would've thought this was a picture taken much later than 1953
kolya@Some_Emo_Chick My default mental photo of Marilyn Monroe is black and white. I'm still surprised she existed in colour at all.
Heurism@Some_Emo_Chick I LOVE it.
Jason Galla@Some_Emo_Chick I hadn't seen this one. People forget or are inconvienced to have to think of her as a regular person with regular problems plus all of the other nonsense problems of fame.
My default image is a candid picture of her daily workout for LIFE. It reminds me of her grit and determination

Seiðr@Some_Emo_Chick TBF, she had to deal with studio heads, so she probably had seen worse.
Darryl R Scott@Some_Emo_Chick There was always depth and nuance behind the manufactured image. Ella Fitzgerald tells the story of how Marilyn jumpstarted her career:

Comrade Weez@Some_Emo_Chick great yarn about that photo and others taken in Banff National Park, including the incident where she turned an ankle and was on crutches during the filming of the movie River of No Return https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/when-marilyn-monroe-came-to-banff
@Some_Emo_Chick woopsie
Marilyn appears to be in a cast, suggesting more than just a twisted ankle
ööpsy@Some_Emo_Chick will do. Did not know she was such a chad, holy shit.
