Marilyn Monroe’s identity as the iconic blonde bombshell often makes her seem one-dimensional.
She is the woman trying to keep her skirt down under an air vent, the sultry songstress serenading JFK at that infamous party, and the subject of countless pin-ups.
But Marilyn – born Norma Jeane Mortenson – was much more than that.
Far from the “dumb blonde” persona she often portrayed on film, she was also a fierce businesswoman who supported civil rights and gender equality.
To pay tribute to the undisputed Queen of Hollywood, let’s look into some of this incredible Marilyn-themed CC made for The Sims 4.
One of the world’s worst-kept secrets is the love affair between JFK and Marilyn Monroe.
You can find many podcasts, blogs, and Reddit threads about it, but the only evidence you need to see is this video of her singing “Happy Birthday” at the late president’s party.
With a sensual singing voice like that, I’d be surprised if they weren’t bumping uglies behind Jackie O.’s back.
The former first lady would hate this CC… but you can download the same dress Marilyn wore for your Sim – all thanks to creator sims2fanbg.
While working on the film The Seven Year Itch, photographer Sam Spade had the perfect image to help promote the movie.
It’s the one you’ve seen a million times already – Marilyn standing under an air vent, (not really) trying to keep her skirt down as it flew around her.
The image has captivated people for decades.
And now it has inspired this custom dress that’s been tailor-made for your adorable Sim ladies.
I haven’t seen her 1953 rom-com How to Marry a Millionaire, but after seeing this swimsuit, I’m willing to bet that Marilyn Monroe did a hell of a job.
The suit accentuates her curves while showing just enough skin to look sultry and classy at the same time.
Grab this custom swimwear in 12 swatches and get your Sim girl ready for the beach, all thanks to CC creator Colores Urbanos.
Many things contribute to Marilyn Monroe’s legendary status.
But her platinum blond hair is the most obvious.
Originally a brunette, she made the transformation during her early modeling days because the head of the agency said that would move her career forward.
Luckily she took the advice because it helped her cement her place among Hollywood’s greats.
And this custom hair is about as iconic & recognizable as she was.
Nothing and no one can ever compare to the real Marilyn Monroe.
It’s been more than fifty years after her death, and the world still misses her dearly.
Even though we can never get her back, we can at least pay tribute to her in The Sims 4 – and make sure her legacy never fades.
For that, we can thank talented creators like BAkalia and their extremely accurate Marilyn Monroe Sim build!
All the CC you need for this is in the item description, and everything is totally Maxis Match so this blonde star is sure to blend into any neighborhood.
