Was it too much to ask of Hollyweird too cast a cuvry girl to star in the new Marilyn Monroe movie? I like Michelle Williams okay, but she dosen't have curves. Is this not just another slap in the face to us curvy girls, that they would select another slender chick, once again, for the part? I mean, we have very few celebrities out there that us well endowed gals can relate too, and then they are often reffered to as fat. I want to see a curvy Marilyn and stand proud of the curves God gave me, cause honey, they ain't going anywhere no matter how much I diet! My junk in the truck is solid, so I gotta except it and move on!

    I read somewhere that Marilyn Monroe was and still is an icon of beauty and she was a size 14!

    Depends on what country sizes you're talking. At her smallest she was North American size 4, and largest no more than a 10.

    Here's her measurements:
    Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches
    Weight: 118-140 pounds
    Bust: 35-37 inches
    Waist: 22-23 inches
    Hips: 35-36 inches
    Bra size: 36D

    I'm old, so I remember the curvy women like Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and Raquel Welch. Those are the kind of curves women had back then and where proud of. And back then men were crazy about those women.

    Don't forget though a size 14 then is NOT the same as a 14 now. Vanity sizing has really changed things - even in the last 20 years.

    I would like to see at the very least a medium sized curvy woman. I think Michelle is curvy but on a much smaller scale....:flowerforyou:

    Just to mention, Marilyn Monroe had much of her clothes custom made for her because of her super hourglass figure.

    i love women from "old" hollywood. they were curvy, healthy looking women. hollywood women today emphisize on being anorexic looking and i cant stand it- to me its not sexy.
    we need to bring back more women with curves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think she looked pretty good. I do agree that she is a lot more slender than Marilyn...and I had heard that she had to wear butt pads to give herself a few more curves...

    If I had to recast though...maybe Scarlet Johansen. She has some curve appeal. Although not a good actress in my opinion.
    Christina Aguilera has some new great curves too, but again...don't know if she could pull off the acting side of things...

    Marilyn Monroe's size varied quite a bit throughout her career. In early pictures, she is downright skinny.
    She was blessed by having a body and face that somehow never looked fat or fatter at least.

    Christina Hendrix would have had to lose quite a bit of weight to play her.

    I for one think Christina Hendricks dying her hair blonde would have been perfect for the job!

    Someone already posted Marilyn's stats

    Michelle is 34C-26-34

    And Marilyn's today equivalent size I believe is a 0.... FAR from a 14.
