50 years ago,the actress, model and singer known as Marilyn Monroe–died in Los Angeles, CA under controversial circumstances. She was just 36. Audiences loved her breathy,wavy blond bombshell appeal combined with her hour glass figure. Her body didn’t fit the mold of beauty back then. As a full figured woman in a society where curves weren’t always beautiful, Marilyn was someone who wasn’t considered ideal in her era.

Marilyn’s striking appeal, her signature wavy hairstyle, and most importantly her curvaceous body is a symbol of beauty for so many now.
