A Look That The Lens Adored

Marilyn Monroe had a child like innocence beneath her outwardly natural beauty that secured some memorable roles in 1950's cinematography.

She had an ability to look better on camera than she did off it, Marilyn definitely had a look that the lens adored, it was as if the lens could see only what we could sense was there

She could wear a look of vulnerability that had an effect on men that they wanted to protect her and this was tapped into ruthlessly with her scripts and marketable one liners chosen for her to say.

Although she was portrayed as a dumb but beautiful blonde she used to take her acting very seriously and was always trying to improve herself and engage in more serious roles.

Inevitably the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe will always be remembered as the number one sex symbol of the twentieth century.
