    I love Marilyn Monroe, she was beautiful. It is a shame that by Hollywood standards today she would be bullied into losing that GORGEOUS figure, by some producer that told her she was FAT.

    I don't think that would happen, She was curvy, but very tiny.

    I don't think the poster was that far off. Before they were famous, Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence both got criticized for being too "fat" for the industry. Johansson's body type even looks like Monroe's, to me.

    According to her dress maker, she had something like a 22 or 23 inch waist. That's a size 0 for jeans today. So...no. Nobody would call her fat, stacked maybe, but not fat.

    She had a really curvy figure though, and the squats explains the bootie!

    (P.S., She was only "big" when she was pregnant and for a short time when she filmed "Some Like It Hot." Check her out in "How to Marry a Millionaire" or "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" standing next to actresses who were considered thin even by that generation's standards.)

    Thanks for the photos! It was well known that Marilyn did lifting, but I hadn't heard of her trainer, and loved those pictures too! I'm going to look her up. I didn't even know that women's bodybuilding existed back then, although I know there was a lot going on with men. She must have been quite unusual.

    I love the pics and I hope she did lift and that Pudgy Stockton was her trainer. But, I had heard that these pics were taken as a modeling shoot, and that she was doing a "Pudgy Stockton" style photo shoot. I had only read this and seen these photos when I was looking up Pudgy Stockton.

    And again MM had a 22 inch waist, she would not be called fat. Some people might, but only because there's always crazies that say crazy stuff.

    Well, I just looked it up quickly and it does seem Pudgy Stockton may have trained her and that was what led to the sport's themed photo shoots.

    Jennifer Lawrence is still labeled as being on the "heavy side" for Hollywood. How ridiculous is that? The most amazing actres , never taken an acting class in her life and she is called heavy. Not to mention is she is anything BUT heavy!

    I just don't get the fascination with being size 0. It is so not as Sexy as being fit and strong!
