As you can see, she is not very pretty at all.

But she does have that vibrancy of a midwestern girl in the early postwar years when American prestige was at its highest.

Hollywood needed to build an icon for the returning soldiers to celebrate their WWII victory, and Marilyn was the right person, at the right place, at the right time.

The exuberant confidence of the nation needed an innocent face for maximal support for nothing is more attractive than exuberant innocence.

That national confidence embodied in this pinup girl would soon be dashed when America picked the wrong foe to fight at a wrong place at the wrong time.

The damage to the national psych reflected a geopolitical mistake that even today the real-estate man is trying to undo.

Overall

Overall a little disappointing. She converted at some point to Judaism to further her career. She was liquidated for some reason I haven't worked out yet.
