Marilyn's pot belly is not attractive.

To me it did not look like a 'pregnancy' belly - she seems just heavy all over -not that she's unattractive, but looks like she gained about 50 lbs overall.
The dress she's wearing on the yacht - talk about strategically placed sparkles!! Wow! -

It's almost sacrilegious to make negative comments about this - after all, we're talking about Marilyn Monroe, and Orry-Kelly's costumes won an Oscar, but as I watched this last night, for maybe the first time I couldn't help noticing that during the "I Wanna Be Loved By You" and subsequent 'seduction' scene, Monroe's breasts were actually pendulous and drooping (was she running in the scene where a transparent strap is visible across her back, perhaps to keep them from juggling all over the place? Not sure.).

ON the commentary for the film one of the guys talks about her breasts in this film look the way a woman who is pregnant should look and the other guys said Oh really and he said believe me I know I've been through it 6 times. He of course was meaning his wife when she was pregnant but they made jokes in the commentary about it being him that experienced it personally.

I just thinks it's silly to even comment on her body in this movie since she's pregnant. I wouldn't say, her curves looks great, or she looks chubby and I should hope she had some what of a pot belly, since you know, that's where the baby is growing and all.

Ceva, I can assure ou, Marilyn had a lot going on her her life at this time. Her number one priority was
not
her figure.
I think she looks as beautiful as always. Besides, I hate the pin-thin model-ish types anyway.
Why, I'm an expert on padded cells. -

Oh man, it is a sad statement about where we are as a people when Marilyn Monroe is considered "chubby!" Why do you guys want your girls looking like holocaust survivors anyway? Even pregnant, Marilyn Monroe is unbelievably sexy.

Aside from the fact that Marilyn Monroe was pregnant during the filming, there is also another consideration here. This film was made prior to the "Twiggy" look that became popular in the mid-late 60s, and has continued on to this day. At the time, thin women were considered in not unattractive, at the very least unhealthy. Voluptuousness was a whole lot more appealing to men of that era. That's why Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Jean Harlow, and the like were considered sex symbols. They had curves. Something changed all that in the 1960s, and now any hint of curvaceousness on the human body is considered fat and ugly. We are much too obsessed with weight loss and dieting now. It's no wonder so many young women have problems with anorexia and bulemia.
