something interesting
Question:
I doubt that Monroe had full-blown PCOS. She had a number of pregnancies and was able to lose weight fairly easily. She did have flossy hair on her cheeks, but it might have been a result of aging or one of the drugs she regularly took. It would be interesting to examine her medicine cabinet a little more closely. She lost a baby boy at 15 weeks gestation during the filming of "Some Like It Hot," and I believe she had had one or more cerclages due to an incompetent cervix.

Yes, unfortunately a size 12 of yesteryear was much smaller than a size 12 of today. A size 12, 1960s was 36" bust and hips. I’m a size 10 and that is 38" hips (or so). Marilyn wore the equivalent of a size 4 to 6. Yikes! Talk about vanity sizing! Take care, Carmen "Kamelot" <langs…@busprod.com> wrote in message

Um, being somewhat (embarrassingly enough) of a Marilyn expert…did you know that when Christie’s was getting ready to auction off that dress she wore when she sang to President Kennedy, they had to special order one of those dress bust thingies from France because it was (the dress) smaller than our regular size 6 dummies? I really don’t think that just about 1 year before her death, she was bigger than a size 6. Sorry to burst any bubbles. ) "Miriam Bonello" <emja…@ihug.com.au> wrote in message

This has little importance, but it is on topic! I was listening to some talk show on the radio last night and some guy was talking about a date he had with a woman who had a "fuzzy face" Then the host said something like "ya know, marilyn monroe had a fuzzy face" This is not the first time I’ve heard this. Also, I heard that she had a miscarriage while filming a movie, and that she washed her face 15 times a day…do you think maybe she had PCOS? I think it’s interesting because here is a woman who was considered one of the most beautiful of all time, and it sounds like she has PCOS… a condition that makes many of us feel "unfeminine." that stuff might not even be true, but who knows. it makes me feel better about it, for some reason.
