Goodbye, Norma Jean; though I never knew you at all...
jadezares
I just love how real these photos are...
ydwyrd
Now there's a frood who knows where her towel is.
chimera388
First photos I've ever seen that actually made her look attractive to me.
TiRhino
If these were taken in 1962, they were taken the year she died at age 36.
JoeyLock
I've read that this shoot was one of her last shoots, at least by George Burns as these were taken on 13th July and she died August 5th.
lernaean
old coloured photos are so creepily uncanny... like, these look like they were taken this year, but it was actually 60 yrs ago
FnordGallop
Yeah, color photos have been around for more than 100 years now.

Still one of the most beautiful women born in my view

She was so god damn gorgeous...
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
I wish I had a towel that big
shimmernshine
Towels of that size are called 'bath sheets'. You can get them on amazon. They're awesome.
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
Some one buy this guy a drink.
Literallydoesntmatter
She just ain't that pretty. Never understood the hype
jathi
This is the most detailed and the most gorgeous I've seen her.
thepuglover
The biggest towel I've ever seen!
Aimoss
She looks a lot like Scarlett Johanssen in these pics
TheRealDavo
Does she have a Kik?
manbearpig22
she was so much more beautiful without that fucking perm.
blonx
I hope she was as happy as she seems
IfOnlyICouldBecomeSoGrosslyIncandescent

Goodbye Norma Jean
YoadCahalonX
wow, i never realized how beautiful she was...
VoxDawg
She is stunning here. Much more beautiful in these pics than in most other tires photos everyone has seen.
megsovereasy
Her makeup looks a little more downplayed than usual, so her natural beauty is really shining through.
SingleNiceFedoraWearingClassyGuycautiondonotfriendzone
She really just did not have a flaw in her appearance, did she?
BubbleGumNoel
i think i might get my hair cut like that now , it looks amazing :D
PandaToots
Whenever I see her I can only think about how big a scumbag JFK was
BookerTheBookkeeperHooker
Why?
PandaToots
He was a slut.
TheHuntedSnark
For someone so fragile and unhappy, she sure gave off the opposite impression to the camera.
ThePickle
That's why she was famous

just because you're unhappy in general, doesn't mean you're unhappy all the time. also, drugs.
sublime29
She looks like she has incredibly sad eyes in these pictures
FoxySpirit
Also, she was younger, before her bombshell persona.
WowSoSparkly
Well not on these photos, it's the year she died...

"Suffering" from depression myself, I can tell you that pretending you're happy is usually your best way out.

There's a lot of theories out there that suggest she may have have Borderline Personality Disorder. One of the hallmarks of BPD is (1/?)

A complete and total lack of self/personal identity. It is theorized that sufferers of BPD make exceptional actors because, since they (2/?)

She's completely blitzed

Fake it till you make it.
magicpantsmcd
It helps to be hot.
generalofficer
Funny you say that - here she was just fired and was using this shoot to make the studio take her back. Next month she overdosed.
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
She was a great actress
BondHaimBond
not sure about great, but good enough to act happy sometimes.
AOCsUnshavenChode
"most people don't know, but she was a size 20" -my FB feed
khora
And she didn't shower.
EnergyFiend
Size numbers were totally different back then. She is a tiny bit bigger in some photos, but was never "big" in any way.
sweetheartzerosyou
????????doesn't look like it, probably a 5 in today's standards. Fat chicks love it, wanna be????????
RandomAbscessMemories
Calm down with the question marks.
sweetheartzerosyou
???????no
Counterfit
Probably tried using emoji
RandomAbscessMemories
Good call.
sweetheartzerosyou
Omg ????????that's what it is. I thought it transferred
melshot
Size 5? Who the fuck wears a size 5??
sweetheartzerosyou
I do
FuckingGilfoyle
Odd numbers are for junior's clothes. Highly doubt it.
sweetheartzerosyou
I am an adult ????size 5 or 4 not a thing
FuckingGilfoyle
What? Odd numbers are junior clothes. Even are adult clothes. Size five is cut for a teen, size six for a woman.
sweetheartzerosyou
Oh.. I am short ????
sweetheartzerosyou
Says her average weight was 118 pound s ????
CalciferHair
She ranged from size 8 to 10, which would be about 10-12 in modern dress sizes. http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/mmdress.asp
SirD1000
CalciferHair
Correction, 6-8 in today's dress sizes. I converted in the wrong direction.
mizzcackalokie
Yep, she fluctuated between a modern 2 and a modern 8 based on her fluctuating measurements.
fantasticjack
Which is pretty tiny actually. I consider myself to be tall but average weight and I wear a size 10

If I were the president then, I think that I may've invited her over to the house through the secret tunnels and the back doors as well.
pooplop21
she certainly was a hot mess

SECRET TUNNEL!
