For me, it's very difficult to get any better than Barbara Bouchet:

I think she was 40 or so in that last pic.

I didn't really understand the fascination with Monroe from just seeing the pics. Then I saw the movies. The stills do nothing. It's when she moves that the appeal becomes obvious.

So let me get this straight....
Kaley Cuoco is not up to par because "makeup"
However a bunch of starlets from yesteryear with 10 pounds of make up applied professional makeup artists and hours worth of touch up on photos are hot?

Cuoco is a butterface. Chopping her hair off was the worst thing she could have done because now there is nothing hiding the fact that she is just awful looking. I'd still allow her access to my penis if she agreed to wear a bag over her head at all times. That body is bangin' in every sense of the word. One of the finest boob jobs I've ever seen and I hate fake tits.

As for Monroe:

She is a butterface, plain and simple. Hot body, and she's good-enough looking to bone, but as compared to other, truly beautiful women? She's not close.

She always looked "thick" to me. I like thick, I just hated her blonde color. I have her playboy issue from decades ago and she was hot. I just prefer brunettes.

Man.. you guys baggin on Kaley Cuco are either nuts or haven't realized that ALL beautiful women are going to look rough while living their lives in reality.

Unless of course you really just want a porcelain doll to look at and not actually treat like a human being.

I've never understood the obsession with her. She just isn't anywhere close to what I find most attractive.


you have to consider most people were alcoholics back then so the drunks thought she was a knock out. Just update her style a little bit and she doesn't look half bad. Kind of like a miley cyrus with a few more pounds and her clothes on.

But a beautiful lady from the past , i always found Ingrid Pitt to be very attractive.

Perfect body and face. Cute pointy/button nose.
Beautiful eyes.

I wanted to add another picture but it was quite revealing to be allowed on the forum so if your interested, just google for her.

The pic of caley cuoco looking like a old corpse is 100% due to them showing a flash directly into her face. Any time you directly flash someone while taking a picture they are going to look like complete dog ass.

Ugly? I guess everyone entitled to their own opinion.

She was hot, like smoking hot.

To my eyes she was beautiful. Not necessarily history's greatest beauty, but certainly very attractive. I am not really clear how anyone could think it was worth starting a thread about how ugly this woman was:

The fetal alcohol syndrome kinda ruins what would have been a pretty gorgeous woman.

You know how I know you're gay?

In this day and age, the only guys I ever hear rambling on about Marilyn Monroe are typically the type of guys that would never sleep with Marilyn Monroe.

No offense to any guys in this thread who are rambling on about Marilyn Monroe AND would hit it

It would have to be God's own embalming job for me to want to hit Marilyn.
<== Cheesehead, we just think that way. :p

Some good input in this thread.
Marilyn was best photogenically during her WW2 press op. Her beauty was best on the silver screen.
Judy Garland is my idea of an American bombshell. But she didn't market herself the same way.
