Marilyn Monroe is iconic for many reasons, but did you know she once helped Ella Fitzgerald gain access to more prestigious clubs? She offered to use her own fame to lure in press & patrons, but only if the clubs would treat Ms. Fitzgerald with the respect she deserved. As Ella herself said in a later interview, "After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times.

Marilyn was 5'5, 118 pounds, and had a 22 inch waist. That's not plus sized by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, when the famous white dress from The Seven Year Itch was being sold at auction, it was placed on a size 2 mannequin....and couldn't be zipped up.

Marilyn was a gorgeous blonde bombshell who became a legend after her tragic passing.
