I don't blame the poor chap - it's not like anybody looks at the face, now, is it?
A Marilyn Monroe expert has been left looking a bit of a twit after a photo he verified as being a hitherto unseen nude snap of Marilyn Monroe actually turned out to be one of unihibited popstress Madonna. Chris Harris was called in by Las Vegas couple Lawrence and Phyllis Nicastro. Mr Nicastro, 73, said he discovered the …
My Arse!
It's nothing like Marylin. As an old bastard who was around in the Monroe era, I could tell at a glance it wasn't her.
How old is this `expert`? Some snotty nosed graduate who did Monroe as his thesis?
Marilyn was nowhere near as skinny as that, her tits were a bit more, shall we say, pert? and her face a lot softer and rounder.
Get the guy some glasses.
I gather she's always wanted to be Marilyn and it must be a real boost for her to learn that ONE person on this planet thinks they look alike.
I agree with Blubster. Who IS this twit? Some dork living in his mum's basement and studying 1950s movie stars at Uni?
Perhaps he should do a post-grad degree on the history of motor vehicle design to avoid similar mistakes.
This so-called expert (x spert) most have been a dope, a phony, or just plain stupid; Marilyn Monroe was (compared to this era Madonna) droopy-boobed, fat assed, big hiped, thunder thighs and flabby bellied.
If MM was around today .... she'd pass for Britney Spears, and be a washout any place but a porno movie set line up.
Marylin Monroe was never...at her worst...as a ugly as that woman shown ...what's her name Madonna or something. Marylin Monroe had a wild life and was used up by a well known "counsellor" well known in a religion which pervades the money side media and creative arts (see internet under marylin Monroe) . She was used and abused and set herself up for it....she had a sad childnhood but she had CLASS ...but this woman shown is utterly devoid of any such assets ...and Marylin had natural beauty and sex appeal. The woman in the photo shown has absolutely nothing...sexless, foul mouthed, not even pretty and no class. Cheers
Now if I had an original publicity shot of Madonna which I wanted to sell, there is not a chance that I would hire some "expert" to "identify" it as a long lost shot of Marilyn Monroe. It is not likely that such an act would result in far greater interest and possibly better sale price for an item that is otherwise relatively unremarkable.
Many self-designated experts in document authentication are no such thing and are very easily fooled. This makes for easy exploitation of the gullible by the cunning: "See, I had this handwritten diary of Hitler authenticated."
Same thing happens in the art world, vide the recent scandal of the English family who scammed a number of big museums with fake antiquities.
Or search for "mormon murders" (sans quotes) at Alibris for several books relating to faked documents in Utah.
IT angle: be sure to authenticate your data!
Paris, because it's hard to tell if she's a fake airhead or an authentic one.
That photo has absolutely no resemblance to Marylin Monroe. Not even close. He's more or less proved his 'expertise' is a complete load of shite. The only way he could have confused this as a photo of Monroe would be if he'd never actually seen a real one.
Literally anyone, anyone at all, could take one look at that photo and determine it wasn't Marylin Monroe. Wrong face, wrong body, wrong everything - there isn't even a vague resemblance.
It always amazes me that no one checks whether these so-called experts have any knowledge to backup their grandiose claims. Obviously he's never actually seen a Monroe movie or photo, because the only other explanations are retardation or he's blind.
You'd have thought that the modern day cars in the background (see the BMW peeking out?) would have given the game away. Oh well, I guess that this expert can't tell the difference between washboard abs on Madonna vs silky soft underbelly on Ms Monroe or Madonna's ever so slightly athletic, almost boyish, hips. Monroe was a woman, with curves and interesting parts. That picture clearly shows that Madonna had to go to extremes to interest anyone in her parts, and had few curves, but quite a few angles.
