Yeah but many other countries film also use this pose.. As it is iconic nd only can be done by Marilyn Monroe.. So maybe that's why

Was part of the film. This specific scene ruined her DiMaggio relationship.

It’s iconic

Totally 💯

I think it’s honoring her.

Fr like actually most likely the people who made the statue were creepy old guys (TYSM FOR THE LIKES!!!!!)

Because it’s an iconic pose of hers and every time someone does a photo like that everyone thinks of Marilyn it’s endearing

it is an iconic part of her life

@@ieattoesiguess yeah

@@cvspharmacy8048 ik just because it’s iconic doesn’t mean we should make a statue of this precious beautiful women with her dress up it just doesn’t seem right. And there’s plenty other iconic photos they could have done

The fault on the artist ! Who would made this awful of a woman

​@@Luvuninioh ok

I know right

@@LuvuniniI’m pretty sure the shorts from the original outfit is there, I’m not sure though.

what happened to princess diana?

@@bascanskaploca13 she died in a fatal car chase I’m pretty sure it was set up by her husband

@@Katiebug1324it was the paparazzi,,,and her chauffeur didn’t have any reason to be running like that. Just foolish on his part as well. Ppl love to make up lies and not know. Are you pretty sure of you know????smh

Nooo😂😂😂

If I could bring 2 people back it would be Diana and Marilyn for sureeee ❤

It’s probably because it’s known to be iconic. She always posed like this but i still find it upsetting that this is the only way we honor her

Not to be that type of person, and other people agree with me. But, if you are bothered by it because clearly you are. YOU are the one sexualizing the pose. It’s nothing bad plus it’s just a pose and no matter what pose they chose we would still be honoring/remembering her for the same thing. No offense but deal with it pls. Complaining about it on the internet is not the best thing to do. Even if it was her “sitting on a bench with a book”, we would still be remembering her FOR a pose. Complaining about these things are nonsense.

Not to mention it is a VERY iconic pose to the community as you can see in the comments. Saying otherwise, yes is an opinion, but the fact you’re complaining is upsetting. PS: Instead of being bothered or sexualizing the pose whatever the story is behind this comment, just respect we are even honoring her. The people who invented the statues of her should not be ashamed because they are doing the right thing by remembering her.

@@fwmqri Im not sexualizing the pose, even marilyn said that she was uncomfortable filming the scene. even if we are remembering her 'for a pose' at least it would be a pose with her doing something she liked

@@valentine1770 It’s literally the one of the last scenes she did before her death. She also wore 2 pairs of white underwear so nobody would glance. She was being careful and was prepared for the scene. If she felt uncomfortable she wouldn’t of did the scene MULTIPLE times.

They did, her dresses and belongings are in museums. Kim ruined 1 of them though

@@EtnaIsEternal And it's all thanks to Ripley for letting that happen. Can't blame Kim for asking cause if they declined her she would've found something else to go for.

That would honor Norma Jean, not Marilyn monroe

@@vi9486 yes! Finally someone said it!

Yeah...lowkey a statue of her reading would've been amazing...but if they really had to make a statue there was one pic in which her skirt wasn't blowing up....and covered everything....

@@vi9486 why doesn't the real her get honored?

@@mocha7707 it does. The real her isn’t Marilyn Monroe. It’s Norma Jean. If you want to honor something about Norma’s real life outside of the glam, then go for it. But that’s not Marilyn Monroe. Norma said it herself, Marilyn is a different, glamorous person to her that she gets to step in and out of. And I don’t recall Marilyn being famous for reading.

Ну, давайте признаем, что Мерилин Монро интеллектом не блистала, ведь она была малообразованна, колледжей, а тем более университетов не оканчивала, а если и есть фотографии, где она как бы читает книгу, это ничего не значит. Во-первых, это сделано ради рекламы, чтобы показать как бы её образованность (которой на самом деле не было!), а во-вторых, неизвестно, прочла ли Мерилин хоть одну книгу до конца. Да ей и некогда было заниматься из-за такого бурного образа жизни! Съемки, романы, замужества, путешествия... Единственное, чем она плотно занималась - это брала уроки актерского мастерства. Это уже точно!

True... But hey... At least we in the comments know... I just wish it is enough to persuade...

It's her iconic pose. It's the people, not the statue. People should take their minds out of the gutter. It's an innocent statue if people choose it to be.

Oh so her Iconic pose is her skirt flying up while she is trying to put it down

@@AngelBeads8 It's a scene from one of her movies.

@@missa2934 Well it was a different time back then, and her husband hated that scene, she even got beaten up because of it. It's one of the things that led to her divorce. The dude's already pretty abusive in today's standards, and the scene didn't help their relationship at all. She didn't deserve the abuse and the dude's an asshole, but that scene led to a lot of emotional turmoil for her. She was also very uncomfortable filming that scene.

@@Jane00223 oh poor marlin she deserves better but sadly she's dead now

@@missa2934 She did, as well as a lot of other actresses around during and before her time, it wasn't uncommon for studios to abuse and maltreat young actresses.

​@kevinvela-alonso8700 true but she could/should of lived much longer than she did 😢 other people who grew up in the same time as her like died in the 2000s while she passed in the 60s :(

Because they used an actual camera, phones are def gonna be lower quality, I get why you said so though, 1955 they most likely had lower quality equipments compared to now, but still back then they still used equipment worth thousands of dollars, so it makes sense.

seriously? the legs should be the least of ur concern tbh

@@honey_luv99 That scene, from "The Seven Year Itch" (& the still photos from it) is among the most iconic of her entire career. It was considered one of the most memorable scenes because of the way the air from the subway grate blew her skirt up..very racy for the time & had everyone talking about her legs. A huge billboard of it was at the premiere of the movie, towering over the theater, & over the years millions of posters have been made of it. For many people around the world & several generations, if you mention Marilyn this is the image that comes to mind. That's why I mentioned the statue's legs. They don't really look like hers & I think a sculpture or painting of such a famous image could've been more accurate although the statue is still impressive. That was my point. If her face had been off I would've commented on that. Don't know if you know the story but that scene is also famous for causing marital strife for Marilyn. A huge crowd was watching as several takes were filmed. Her husband, Joe DiMaggio, was there & got more & more upset each time the wind/skirt effect was repeated. He was furious that it showed her underwear & didn't like the crowd's reaction each time. Marilyn later told friends that when they went home that night they argued over it & Joe hit her. The marriage went downhill from there. That scene & the stills from it are among the most memorable of her career for several reasons. Fans loved it but it turned out to be a bad moment for her & is recounted & discussed in all the biographies of her life. For most people those 2 or 3 shots from that scene simply showcase her overall beauty, sex appeal & glamour. As for my comment, it wasn't a concern as much as an observation.

There was Jayne Mansfield.

She got beat by her husband because of this shot and had to change film locations cause men kept cat calling her, this wasn't iconic, it was a lot of abuse covered up by fame, beauty and sensuality.

@@whatnow548 Blondie never said she did anything wrong. And comparing soliders and this Marilyn scene doesnt even correlate. Unlike what the original comment said, Marilyn did not want to do this scene and did not benefit from it. If actors and actresses in this age cant stand up for themselves on set, how can Marilyn. Blondie is simply pointing that out. Marilyn "knew what she was doing"? She didn't have any other choice. Marilyn is no angel that everyone makes her out to be but she had no control on a lot of things happening in her career either.

@@blondie3743 i understand that. What came of it right afterwards was unfair and tragic. But her in this moment, she was being an entertainer and became immortalized. She was not only art, but her own artist.

Okay. Imagine yourself as a famous and great actress with millions of fans.
