Marilyn studied everything about beauty. From the way she looked, to the way she moved, to the way she spoke. Everything. She had help, but she was a genius and she knew what to do. She knew what worked. She was also a much better actress than she was ever given credit for.
@@demitriwelling1348 Actually, in Marilyn Monroe's case, as I understand it, she was the one who developed her persona. When she first got a studio contract she was there first thing in the morning, took every class, and studied everything. She developed the way she walked, the way she moved, and even that breathy way she spoke. That was why she was so unique. That was why no matter how hard they tried the studios really couldn't duplicate her success. There were lots of imitators, but no one ever reached the status of Marilyn Monroe. It wasn't the studio. It was Marilyn.
Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist, Whitey, was the genius behind her 'look'. She had that essence of innocent, yet knowing, sexuality which to this day is like an intoxicant.
@@AD-eg9cw It is the common way to describe Marilyn and has been done so for years. Someone who somehow exhibited both a childlike innocence and sex appeal, all at the same time. As she was not a child, I can't personally see any creepiness in it.
@@saucermcfly You just used *childlike* to add on to her "innocence" and "sex appeal".... Being "childlike" should not be sexy to you. Please see a psychologist.
Of course Marilyn was smart enough to receive lots of help, but many that knew her and worked for her acknowledged that she was the genius behind her iconic image. Whitey Snyder said in an interview "Marilyn was a genius with makeup. She knows tricks that even I didn't know." Also Darryl F. Zanuck, the head of 20th Century Fox said upon her death "no one created Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn created herself." Again, she had lots of help but she knew what she wanted to be and slowly progressed and transformed herself into the otherworldly creature that still exists among us every day. You can take every girl in the world, give them plastic surgery and the best makeup, and they still will never be Marilyn Monroe.
Yup everybody needs help but she still had her own intelligence. A lot of people now a day have the means to get a lot of help but that doesn’t mean success or sets them apart from the rest.
Claro que ninguna chica se parece a otra,porque cada ser humano es único,y haga lo que haga va a ser así,ni siquiera los gemelos idénticos son tan idénticos,yo te digo que hablan cada cosa.
@@aniagomez1873 no seas tonto, entendiste muy bien lo que quiso decir. No me vengan con eso de que "cada persona es única" lo que más se ve en Instagram son chicas idénticas entre sí gracias a la cirugía plástica. Así nadie será Marilyn, ni siquiera operándose.
@@natanielfelipe Yo te digo que tienes mucha razón,porque Marilyn Monroe se hizo cirugía plástica en la nariz y el mentón para ser Marilyn Monroe,Mira tú y Ana de Armas en mi opinion es mucho más bonita que Marilyn Monroe y mucho,mucho más que Norma Jean ,ella nació bella ,es muy bella y bella será porque así lo quiso dios,so,por aquí hay mucho material desde que ella era muy pequeña y siempre verás su misma cara ,su mismo rostro con el pasar del tiempo como a todo el mundo,así que deja ya de hablar sin sentido y por envidia acerca de los demás,además quien quiere ser Marilyn Monroe a ver?,digo yo,porque su vida fue un tormento desde que nació y no era perfecta,obvio como todo el mundo ,pero tuvo muchos excesos en su vida ,la pobre mujer lo que atravesó no fue fácil y al final del día mira como murió,muy joven y no dejó ninguna huella familiar y si mucho de que hablar por la trágica muerte que tuvo y los rumores de que andaba enredada con los hermanos Kennedy y yo me pregunto,alguien quiere parecerse a alguien o algo así?;no creo que alguien inteligente y con cuatro dedos de frente quiera eso para si;Ana de Armas es una grandiosa y muy prestigiosa actriz ,verdaderamente muy inteligente,muy talentosa,sensata,educada,bellísima,,muy lista y muy capaz ,que solo presume de su exquisito arte muy reconocido en el mundo entero y su genuina naturalidad,por lo trabajadora y gran ser humano que se muestra que es y con todos esos atributos que dios le dio no creo que haga falta nada más,no tiene que hacerse cirugía porque ella es muy bella naturalmente y mucho menos para parecerse a alguien porque ella es una estrella que brilla con luz propia y este personaje el cual ella interpretó con mucho respeto y amor a su trabajo ,solo le ha traído demasiado problema en mi opinión porque no se contaba con que las personas de ciertos lugares atravesarán tantas inseguridades en sus vidas;Para tú información del país donde ella viene la cirugía de ese tipo ,por vanidad es muy escasa ,generalmente se practica por salud ,pues la salud allí es gratis por derecho de cada individuo,so,ya lo otro que es vanidad pues no es muy usual y debe llevar otro proceso,pero gracias a dios la mayoría de la gente de su país no lo necesita porque Dios fue abundante con ellos en las cosas verdaderamente necesarias en la vida y la belleza es un cumplido más,aunque te aseguro que ahí Dios también fue bastante generoso lo cual se agradece un montón porque con todas las carencias que ellos viven de todo imagínate si encima de eso también fueran muy feos..Jajaja ,yo creo que sería demasiado,so,esas chicas de las que tú hablas no se de donde son,porque la mayoría de los cubanos les encanta ser muy genuinos y reales y no es que no les guste ser bellos por fuera ,porque a quien no?,pero hay cosas mucho más importantes en la vida que la belleza y la fama y son tu calidad humana y lo que tú por ti mismo eres capaz de lograr en tu propia vida ,la que vas a vivir por ti mismo,y no pretendiendo ser lo que no eres ,ni serás ,porque por nacimiento no te correspondió,eso es ser un gran idiots en mi opinión ;Pero como explicar a alguien como tú ciertas cosas que nada tienen que ver con su herencia ancestral,ni patrones de conductas y culturas heredadas,desde luego que el León juzga según su condición;Te aclaró todo esto porque yo no soy tonta ni me hago,pero tú eres muy estupido y no te haces es que lo eres,además de envidioso celoso,difamador mentiroso y pretencioso además,tratando de disfrazar tu envidia y tus celos con una admiración hacia alguien que no existe de tu parte,tú estás molesto porque tienes envidia y celos de la chica ,mas na’,eso es todo lo tuyo,so,deja de estar jugando a al defensor de las causas que no te corresponden y ubícate en tiempo y espacio que aquí la única operada fue Norma Jean,no Ana de Armas,porque ni siquiera se decoloró su bello pelo para interpretar su personaje,usó hasta película ,mira tú,y si se confunde a veces con Marilyn Monroe en su actuación eso es para que veas lo grande y muy profesional que es como artista y lo muy talentosa y muy capaz que es,que fuera para que la elogien más que otra cosa ,por su gran interpretación de Norma Jean en la gran pantalla,hasta ahora la mejor que se haya hecho desde que vienen interpretando diferentes personas a este icono cinematográfico de la cultura estado unidense,debería recibir un premio porque su grandiosa y espectacular actuación ha dejado paralizado a todo el mundo ,unos quedaron emocionados y muy agradecidos por la puesta y otros como tú no pueden superar todavía que alguien haya llegado a resucitar a Marilyn Monroe por unas horas ,cuando la creían muerta para siempre,y lo miraban desde otra óptica personal;Marilyn Monroe fue,es y será Única,porque todos los somos en nuestra condición de humanos y porque su vida solo ella la vivió y creó,eso es obvio y Ana de Armas es única también,por la misma razón,cada cual en lo suyo,ninguna necesita de la otra para nada en mi opinión porque esta última antes de interpretar este personaje tan conflictivo (sin ofensas),ya tenía un nombre en la actuación y su propia carrera que despegó siempre con éxitos muy distintos a Norma Jean ,por suerte o por desgracia esa es la verdad y gústele a quien le guste y pésele a quien le pese es así,so,En estos tiempos de hoy Ana de Armas es una muy grandiosa y prestigiosa actriz,bellísima,muy talentosa,muy educada,muy inteligente,lista y segura de sí misma ,un espíritu libre muy conquistador de sus propios logros por ella misma y por nadie más,una mujer muy valiente y luchadora capaz de tocar el sol y la luna por ella misma y sus propios sacrificios personales y ha si fue desde con apenas dies ocho años salió de su terruño a conquistar sus sueños y sus metas solita y por ella misma hasta lograr estar donde está hoy ,ah y sin dinero ,ni respaldo ,ni nada,solo con la herencia de sus ancestros y su seres muy queridos,además de su patria equipada en su maleta de viaje ,pero con la gran fuerza de un Quijote de hoy combatiendo sus propios molinos de viento para llegar a donde ha llegado,que pena que tanta luz en lugar de iluminar a su alrededor opaque la vista de los seres oscuros y en lugar de iluminarse elijan ser mucho más oscuros.
Supposedly, Rita Hayworth had electrolysis on her hairline, too. Weren't there cases with stars from the silent screen era who underwent surgeries and lost their careers because they were disfigured with the procedures used back then? The history of plastic surgery in Hollywood is so interesting thank you. Enjoyed this very much
@@judyakajude3370 Yeah i watcehd a documentary about her awhile back om here and it was very interesting. She was so stunning and talented. Sad that it seemed like most men just used her. And really sad she got dementia.
Yes, they even pulled healthy teeth in the back, for a better jaw line/ cheek bones. Or a lot of man and woman had work done on their chin also. To make it rounder. I think Cary Grant did that. You can see in his earlier pictures he had a longer/ less round chin before. I think Marilyn Monroe also did that, also she had a nose job.
With Rita what basically happened was they tried to make her look "more anglo american". It was the time of the "star system" literally a system were you would be studied to see what roles featured best. This happened with both men and woman btw. In the era of silent films it was even normal to get a whole past and upbringing completely made up. Think about wrestlers's gimmicks. You look a certain way you created a fake name, style, moves and song to go with it. Now Rita (Margarita Cansino) had Spanish and Irish ascendancy from her parents, while naturally pretty didn't look "american enough" so she went through electrolysis and always maintain a different hair color.
With all due respect, it was her makeup artist, Allan Whitey Snyder, that helped create the Marilyn look. He did her makeup for her first screen test & funeral. Marilyn also had the best in the business in regards to hairdressers and wardrobe stylists. She helped create the Marilyn image but had a lot of help. She truly is an icon.
So true. I heard he was one of the first makeup artists to employ contouring makeup for everyday. Marilyn was always self conscious of her nose and her makeup artist accentuated her nose with the button contour. She was always beautiful though, before and after. As you probably know, she always told her makeup artist that she wanted him to do her funeral makeup. And at the time he couldn’t imagine her dying first. The whole circumstances of her death is just so shocking. I wonder if there was any foreshadowing on her part
Part of MM’s appeal is that she looks so natural & fresh faced! That is not to be discounted, & is and will always be “en Vogue” Less is Always More! IMO 😘
I'm so glad that you spoke about MM with such respect for her intelligence and talents. And discussing her makeup was excellent for a well-rounded analysis.
Marilyn's own words in one of her last published interviews: " I hope I have the courage to not have plastic surgery and to grow old gracefully." I think she would have possibly done that, but it wouldn't have been easy, given her image and position and the superficial requirements of Hollywood. I have an old movie magazine that came out two months before Marilyn died. There's an article about her in it titled " Has Marilyn Had It Because Of Old Age?" She had just turned 36.
Right, she may have seen that. If she did suicide (who knows for sure), that may have contributed. When you are known for your beauty and it's central to your career, that has to hurt.
@@Altamisal and don't forget this was 1962. Women were often still treated as appendages back then, especially sex symbols. Women weren't yet empowering each other. I love to picture Marilyn in her forties and fifties as a free-spirited still beautiful but natural hippie with good girlfriends to go camping with LOL.
Marilyn was a helluvan actress!! She blew me away in "Don't Bother To Knock"! I know the focus is largely centered on her beauty (she was gorgeous), but her acting talent is so underrated. Just my thoughts.....☺️
It's really refreshing to see a doctor who isn't encouraging lots of surgery, and who knows the history of the craft. And a doctor who isn't obsessed with looking "perfect" themselves!
The electrolysis on hairlines was common during the studio system. I know rita hayworth was forced to get it too, because her natural hairline looked "too hispanic"
I don't know that there was supposedly anything "Hispanic" about Rita's original hairline - but when you look at her in her early small roles in the 1930s, you can clearly see that the higher hairline and a taller forehead she had by 1941 are definitely a great improvement. Her face goes from fairly pretty to really beautiful; the proportions are much improved.
@@hebneh and that's why they did electrolysis. It helps with lighting and angles of the face. That's how you become a Goddess of Movies and a leading lady.
Very nicely presented. No silly speculations or made up theories. And it’s really easy to cross the line into conspiracy theories when it comes to Marilyn Monroe.
As gorgeous as she was, her nose job was not a very good example of plastic surgery. If you see profile pictures of her with less makeup on you can see the tip is very bulbous & strangely angled. Her makeup artist did a lot of layering makeup & contouring to make her nose look attractive on camera. Marilyn was a mastermind at illusion.
There was another woman who looked like Marilyn Monroe and she never had plastic surgery, had natural blonde hair with light blue eyes. She was a wife material type woman who got married and never got divorced. She had a couple of kids. She passed away in 1989.
Most interesting. A wonderful breakdown of Marilyn Monroe, Dr. Motykie - particularly your opinions on how and where to apply makeup & going for your own unique "look". Many thanks......all the way from London! ( I'd be fascinated on your opinion and timeline about Dove Cameron but that's a hard one.... my guess is there are many procedures and they're very subtle )
Thanks for the respectful commentary. Marilyn's an example of less is more. Interestingly, when she wasn't doing the full glamour look, she was strikingly fresh and lovely without makeup as well. She was, in a word, luminous.
What an interesting video Apart from selecting interesting topics and celebrities, Dr. Motykie is always so tactful yet honest, such a rarity these days. Admirable.
Do your research! Many people with silicone implants, any implants develop autoimmune issues. Can happen quickly or slowly where your health gets worse and worse. In the Breast Implant Illness Facebook group there are also misc. implant members that share their illness issues from chin implants. I've seen the photos. They then get better after getting it removed. The symptoms can be all over the place. How your body will react is unpredictable. Do your research! It's a horrible horrible downward battle and most people don't understand why they feel ill.
Most celebrities now have incredible plastic surgery. Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Scarlet Johansen, etc. The Kardashians may be obvious but most Hollywood actresses are not. They all look pretty damn incredible. There's a reason people like Jennifer Lopez still look good yet natural.
In general, plastic surgery was more subtle those days, it didn't completely alter the face. I find that the greatest transformation was due to her teeth, they looked so much better after she became a bombshell, they were rather big and unflattering before.
I've read comments from professional photographers who worked with her that she was extremely skillful at posing to her best advantage, and she knew exactly how to do it. Marlene Dietrich had this same talent too.
There is another component to her transformation that is not mentioned: her teeth. Besides the fact that they are whiter and now look perfectly aligned, I read that she was in a car accident. Was there any jaw reconstruction surgery?
Excellent video! Loved how you showcased both her surgical procedures and cosmetic techniques to achieve subtle enhancements that created her trademark style. I think that shows how everyone can interpret and portray their own personal beauty in a very accessible way!
Could you please do Dove Cameron? Could you also speak to getting plastic surgery as young as she did? I have always heard you should not do plastic surgery when you’re a child because you are still growing. Thank you. Love your videos!
Excellent analysis of Monroe’s image. I’m a 65 year old women and have witnessed the transition of makeup trends for decades. Frankly, the layering trend for contemporary looks give a mask-like appearance to women. It’s fine for editorial use; but in person - the application looks obvious…instead of creating the subtle (and glowing) alteration that projected Monroe’s beauty. Had Marilyn lived well into her senior years…I’m certain her advice as a beauty influencer would be to not “gild the lily.”
So many celebs have the same surgeries , and too many of them, so they all start looking the same. Like one weird extended family. Kim Kardashian was a very attractive young woman before all the work. 2 of her sisters, not so much.
Thank you so much for this. Too many people think Marilyn had no beauty before plastic surgery, as though it was a huge transformation when it really wasn't. So much of the transition to Marilyn Monroe was gradual and lay in studying facial expressions and gestures, hair colour and styles (both ever changing throughout her career), and in many makeup tricks.
Not sure about the All American Girl label. Her persona and what she portrayed herself as was an exaggerated, breathless, wide eyed, hyper sexual, dumb blonde, naive, innocent, sex symbol. Wouldn't call that all American or Girl Next Door, if that is what you meant.
As a huge fan of Marilyn i can tell when someone speaks about her with admiration, you did throughout this video, impossible as a plastic surgeon not to acknowledge one of the greatest beauty and style icons of all time. She did have a dream team of very talented people to help her create her iconic image and build her brand, but she was also brilliant and learned every trick to keep herself looking on point. She really did a great job keeping herself glamorous, she was sexy but never vulgar and that's how she remains a timeless classic Hollywood beauty.
Absolutely; excellent comments. I know a lady that's a pre-school teacher of 3 & 4 year olds. She has 8 x 10 glossy photos of about 9 stars. 8 are today's "movie stars" if you can even call them that including Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, to name three, and Marilyn. All are in black & white to be "comparable" next to each other, and Marilyn was put in around 5 or 6. This was done over a period of several days so they could be asked individually "Which lady do you like the best?" No agenda or influencing which is what the teacher & asst feared if they were shown the pictures as a class. Very wise. Unanimously. Unanimously these boys and girls all picked Marilyn. The teachers then asked them why they liked 'this lady' best and the answers ranged from 'she's the most beautiful' to 'I'd like to hug her', 'she'd like to hug me' and doing hugging motions. That says A LOT, and she got a little teary-eyed and said she feels exactly the same way too. Still, she did ask about the others and the kids just kind of shrugged their shoulders, said things like "she's okay I guess". I thought you'd like to know that, and bet you're not surprised. After that 'experiment' the kids asked to see Marilyn's picture from then on, so it was put into a picture frame so they could. Marilyn's magic of inner beauty, warmth and love in addition to her outer come through and always will.
@@robmcgowan4034 thank you so much for sharing that story with me. You're right, i'm not surprised by the way those kids all responded to Marilyn, but i am moved. I think Marilyn made some new young fans thanks to that teacher lol, her legacy of inner beauty and success through her many struggles will live on in the hearts and minds of those kids and will capture their imaginations forever. Marilyn was fascinating even to her peers, i remember an interview with Brigitte Bardot, she had the nicest things to say about her, and remembered when they met in a bathroom the day they both met the Queen of England. She said that Marilyn was adorable the way a child could be adorable, among other things highlighting that Marilyn was more than just a pretty face and a sexy woman. She battled demons and was surrounded by them throughout her life, and even with her tragic end i don't think she lost, because decades after she left this world her angelic beauty still captivates a variety of people of all ages from every corner of the planet, her universal appeal remains intact. I just wish she knew how loved she was and still is by everyone so at least she felt less lonely and "generally miserable" as she said in an interview. That desire to just be loved, not as a celebrity, but for who she really was is what made those kids want to hug her and is what touches our hearts just looking at her photos. I hope that she does know now that she is loved by millions and she was never alone, wherever her beautiful spirit may be. Again thank you for sharing that story, it warmed my heart and i'll add it to my endless list of reasons why i love that very special woman 🙏💖
Hmm. So she did plastic surgery. And there goes my admiration. Not that I think plastic surgery is bad, it's just that I always thought she was a natural perfection, Mother Nature's masterpiece. Turns out it's surgery's masterpiece and it kinda shatters the feelings of awe I had in relation to her. Props to the surgeons, they did an amazing job. She was already very pretty but they gave her the edge. I'm kinda losing the mesmerized awe I had in relation to all these Oldies beauties, which is a good thing, I guess. Their beauty is man-made and fairly unattainable (well, it could be with a shit ton of money I guess), it wasn't just an extremely stroke of luck in genes that made them look that gorgeous. Instead, I'm starting to appreciate what makes people uniquely beautiful without surgery.
Honestly, it seems like all the “beauty” icons ever were just a result of plastic surgery. That really bums me out for some reason. Someone can just buy beauty and change their lives forever ? If Marilyn didn’t look like that/gotten plastic surgery, there’d be no Marilyn Monroe today/ wouldn’t be remembered. Idk, you can really change your life if u just thin out your nose/ hood your eyes. Not to mention, earn so much money. Kylie Jenner, actresses, singers, all these people earn so much money from their plastic surgeries.
No, Marilyn was more than just minor tweaks to her face that didn't make much difference anyway - you didn't notice anything until this dr pointed them out to you. Any surgeries she had didn't *give* her screen presence, charisma and acting talent. That's like saying, "If this amazing, famous singer didn't have his bad teeth fixed, he wouldn't have achieved anything." That's a pretty simplistic, uniformed view of humans you have. If a beautiful woman gets a slightly better haircut does that make her a better person or more beautiful? No. It might enhance her appearance slightly but she's a beauty anyway. Like Marilyn.
@@TheRealBookofJoshua I disagree, surgeries to her face did in fact give her screen presence, charisma, and even acting abilities. It allowed her to do that closed eye look which she used a lot and gave her more facial expressions to work with as an actress. It made her extremely photogenic and memorable. Acting is all about the face so that's why actors bother to get surgeries. I'm just bummed about people who allow themselves to be praised for beauty thats not even naturally theirs. It just seems sleazy. There's a lot of amazing singers and actors in the world who probably don't get noticed. People who are "beautiful" have an advantage and nowadays (and in marilyn's time,) when you can buy beauty to get ahead, it seems unfair to people who can't or don't want to. And haircuts don't change your face. I was always mesmerized by marilyn's face, not her hair, body or clothes. I think a lot of her fans were. People say she's a sex symbol, but to me she was just so gorgeous - her face and her expressions. So finding out it was partly fake, just bummed me out. I'm not talking about her internal beauty btw. I know she was a nice person and talented, no one argues about that. I guess I'm just really interested in facial expressions when it comes to acting and she has always stood out to for being able to change her face so quickly, so I always sensed that something was up.
You do have a point !!! I am completely fake. I spent thousands of dollars on a face of plastic surgery, contact lenses and dental work ( Still, I am " not all that" )...
Rita Hayward had a very low hairline and had it changed. I knew a plastic surgeon who did Amelia Marcos plastic surgery when he was a military doctor and was stationed in the Philippines. Its amazing how these procedures were done way before what we now have available. Plastic surgery was developed to repair soldiers who were damaged during war time, way before it was a vanity circumstance. Marilyn didn't need massive amounts of help, make up and the use of false lashes really enhanced her beauty.
How did she look more beautiful at the end of her life than during previous years? Was it make-up, or was it simply losing weight and the maturation of the face?
I use to be in denial about her having plastic surgery but after watching a few movies from the beginning of her career then watching others from later on her face really did changed! Very subtle and natural work but she definitely had something done to her chin, and probably nose. It’s amazing what they could do back then.
Her eyebrows ended up higher than Ariana Grande s . That wasnt make up. Possible browlift with upper blepharoplasty. If they could do chin implants and nose jobs back, they could definately do browlifts and blepharoplastys. She looks completely unreal after the age of 35 and quite older than her real age.
Accurate & respectful assessment! There are RU-vid vids saying she had procedures done that did NOT exist 60 years ago, when Marilyn lived. Makes no sense.
Procedures, like tech absolutely did exist 60 years ago, they were just hidden from the public.... Lots of today's advancements were already known. They just keep us behind!!
I had no idea that rhinoplasty and chin augmentation were done in the 40's. Thank you for the respect you have shown for her. You are so smart and right that less is better. At 59 I am still aging gracefully. I may get a chemical peel or lazer but so far I am good. I am afraid of doing fillers or threads. So much can go very wrong. I can not get that cat lady out of my mind.
You are gorgeous!!! I hope to age as gracefully as you. I agree there's too much that could go wrong. I could only see myself doing something less invasive like a chemical peel, laser, or microdermabrasion type of thing to the skin too. Better to age naturally than look like a freak. ; )
She had a gift for reinvention. By 1962 she again looked like no other woman and yet perfect for the time. Her keeping Allen Snyder as her lifetime makeup artist she had a kindred expert on her look.
So much has be written about this ravishingly beautiful woman & personally I think she is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen, possibly 'the' greatest! I think that she was beautiful inside and out.
I agree , but allowed herself to be used and abused …. even Tony Curtis , when talking about Marilyn said that they had slept together, then he said , “but then who hasn’t”, !!!
@@janebruce6625 it’s not fair to single out Marilyn Monroe for being a loose women in Hollywood!! They were all screwing each other !!! It’s Hollywood!! It’s even happening today !! Just saying
@@ST-nz4bf Yes , I know but I didn’t single her out , she was the subject matter of the Doctor , and I only spoke the truth of what Tony Curtis said , in fact it was when she made the film “” Some like it hot ,”” … as they were both in that film …
Indeed she was physically beautiful . I cannot think of anything she did which suggested she was beautiful inside. I don't care about the promiscuity. Her treatment of people was not good.
great video ..several people had suspected brow raising as appears higher with more upper lower lid definition and also some kind of injections in her breast tissue to keep looking pert
They didn't do those procedures at that time. I have teenage perky breasts and I'm 45 and breast fed 2 kids. There ARE naturally beautiful women out there. Not everyone has had work done like the new 2022 generation🙄
She had brow lift too. Just look at the space between her eyelids and brows, before she had hooded eyes, later she had surprised look because of the brow lift, also her hairline went up because that time browlift ended up somewhere there, close to the hairline and the line went up, as a side effect. The make up space on her eye is waaaaaay bigger than before. Its not only her unique make up, Doctor. :) Just saying ;)
Did she do her own makeup for movies? I'm curious to know more about the surgical techniques used at the time, I'm completely surprised to learn she had facial surgery.
without makeup she definitely was not such a beauty as with makeup. some women’s faces were made for makeup like canvaces but without makeup they were not that pretty (MM and J Lo). the procedures were very subtle, it was more due to make up and hair
I saw where the Blue Book modeling agency referred to her as the Chinless Wonder. I don’t see anything wrong with her original chin but she was gorgeous ❤
Great analysis of an iconic beauty, Marilyn Monroe. One of her beauty tricks that she admitted to using was “hormone cream.” She used it on her face, which resulted in fine soft facial hair. She said it made her face look “softer” for the camera. Do you know what cream she might have been using?
How is it that Plastic surgery back then left NO scars on her chin and nose ? There are reports elsewhere that her eye to eyebrow area inbetween was also modified.
The incisions are made inside.. I had a rhinoplasty and bone graft in my chin. The chin was done inside my mouth and the nose inside my nostrils. These Doctors are not barbarians...
Love this assessment and explaination. Such a beautiful woman and as you say, unique. I think the make up/techniques used enhanced her beauty more than surgery.
To me the main change in Marilyn's face was her EYES....nobody hardy ever mentions this...why???? When she was a teenager her eyes were very hooded and quite small, but a few years later her eyes were huge with big eyelids, creating a dreamy, doe eyed look and with the best will in the world and the best make up artist.... there is NO way you can make eyes look that different without up techniques only......so to me the main thing she had done was an upper eye lift or brow lift for sure....
@@lewienew Thank you. These people are so clueless about modeling. All she did was tilt her head back, and change her makeup, when she used to tilt her head down so much before. She learned all the correct moves. There were no "brow lifts" back then. Gen Z and it false info per usual.
@@amberbest6942 Brow lifts were done as long ago as 1815.. I worked for the head of cosmetic surgery at Georgetown University Hospital. Make certain you actually know what you are talking about !!!
Had she lived, I think she would have succumbed to more surgery because, sadly, she was a deeply insecure person, who was mainly valued for her looks. A combination virtually guaranteed to result in ever increasing cosmetic surgical interventions.
If Marilyn would have lived longer she most definitely would have gotten more work done 🤷🏻♀️ She’d be another Jocelyn Wildenstein……she’d be morphed looking.
Can you do one on Anna Moffo? Many people thought that it ruined her voice which is not likely.... (singing too much in a too wide repertoire is more likely to have done that)
She had hairy face this was said and arms a lot of blond hair on her cheeks, which she liked because the light played off of it and reflected the camera lights beautifully,
She fully copied JEAN HARLOW. From hair ,to way of dressing ,to way of posing in photos.JEAN HARLOW lived before her ,and Marylin even wanted to play the role of Jean Harlow in one movie.She said that Jean Harlow was her idol.She copied every piece of her life ,and even put her ex.husband to promise to her that if she dies ,he will bring flowers to her grave for a year every day or week,AS JEAN HARLOW HUSBAND DID WHEN JEAN DIED. It's cery disturbing that a copy of an original is so known in the world,but the original,is not.Maybe because media did not play a role in making Jean Harlow as know as she really deserved. Applause to Jean Harlow.She is the true icon,and the idol that Marylin copied.I must agree...Jean must have been really amaizing if Marylin gave up to her personality to copy the entire life and style of Jean Harlow.
@@amberbest6942 You are completely wrong !!! I worked for the head of cosmetic surgery at Georgetown University Hospital.. I am certainly not "spreading lies"… You, on the other hand are an example of "the dumbing down of this country"… Did you graduate from high school ????
What about her eyes? I think she had blapheroplasty? Her eyes in her younger years were hooded and in later years they were lazy (in a good way)--I think they really what put her whole look together.
Remember that Eve Arnold said of her 'she worked hard for her beauty' and said it with the greatest respect. She worked hard to achieve what she did and it shouldn't be dismissed as pure darn luck
I wish you would specify in the description that at 7:32 you show Aly Art video. I know that on the clip itself there’s “video courtesy of aly art” But putting it in the description would’ve been so nice to Aly!
The Mexican actress of the 50 s Maria Felix was a natural beauty nobody compares to her. She had intelligence, she had the body she looked like a model tall and thin. She really didn't need makeup. She was discover while walking down the street and was asked if she was interested in acting. When she walked into a room everybody would be silent her beauty was one of a kind. Even as she aged she was still beautiful she died at age 89.yrs old she never had sergury
She also had her eyes done. The beauty spot was always there, but it was flesh coloured. I've not hear about her facial injuries before now. She was surrounded by shady men her whole life. Even more so when she broke up with Miller and returned to LA and started hanging out with Sinatra and his Cal Neva posse. She could balance on the head of a pin, even with several glasses of champagne under her belt (look at the photos of her last interview for proof). Personally, I think her breaking her nose during a fall is unlikely.
I agree with you. I think some Mafia thug punched her. She had a big mouth and threatened them when she was drunk and full of pills. in my opinion, I think she was "wacked by the Mafia" to shut her up..
She was utterly adorable. So sad she was a tortured soul and died so young. There will never be another like her as far as beauty, charm, talent - and well, just being Marilyn.
The reason she looked so good for so long is because she DIDNT have much in the way of plastic surgery...people overdo it these days hoping to defy age and it just looks awful.....plastic surgery doesn’t defy age....you still look as old but with plastic surgery!
Please make a video about Grace Kelly's face. Did she get any work done or was she completely natural? It seems nobody is talking about it but her nose looks a bit suspicious to me.
I believe Grace Kelly had a minor "Tip-plasty" on her nose to rotate it upward. Probably nothing more.. ( She was very nearsighted and work contact lenses, but who doesn't )..
Undoubtedly, the late Marilyn had ASTOUNDINGLY TALENTED PLASTIC SURGEONS!!!! WHO referred them to her...and WHY can't all actresses (and actors) avoid physical damage ( and ruined careers) due to costly, untalented surgeons?
Great video, curious how much of her work was done before 1955 (gentleman prefer blonds and how to marry a millionaire) as in this time period she was completely controlled by FOX so would have had no say in surgery ect. After 1955 she broke her contract so would have done things autonomsly. Talking about marylin and woman in this era I think is important to recognise the control of the studio over EVERYTHING.
