Has anyone ever looked more like Marilyn Monroe than this woman?

Jimmy James

R1, I forgot about Jimmy

Naomi Watts

Anna Nicole Smith

Too thin.

It's not too hard to put on Marilyn's hairstyle, makeuo and costuming. Her personality and star quality, impossible to relicate.

Yes. Go to the Dorothy Killagaingillgallon thread and look for the judo instructor.

That's Toni west

I agree that Marilyn's 'look' is easily replicated and many many women can get very close to the look.

But I agree that OP's has the nose and the mouth.

Sometimes I get so tired of people dragging this dead woman up to be re-used over and over and over again in 'new' films about her life. It's so overdone.

Overdone? I got an Oscar nomination for it!

Toni

Young Madonna

OP’s picture looks more like Stella Stevens in the 1960s, than Monroe. Stevens was one of dozens of Marilyn pretenders.

Probably.

The woman who stood in for Monroe in the Some Like it Hit ads.

"Her personality and star quality, impossible to replicate."

Yea, it was her sparkling, effervescent personality that made the pervy Kennedy brothers want to tag team Marilyn so badly.

Linda Kerridge looking like Marilyn Monroe again

Naomi Watts???

The beautiful Kara Killmer, late of Chicago Fire.

None of those women would ever fool me that they were MM. Jimmy James comes very close.

Amateur

I really did think that was Marilyn, OP. Slightly longer face, but other than that...

R21, yep. If only the face was a tad shorter

Jimmy again.

Jimmy James is a man so he's definitely not the closest to looking like Marilyn.

Viola Davis

Of all the photos posted so far he is.

Jimmy is back on Facebook after a long absence. He was living with his mother back in Texas, she died, then a relative tried to snatch the house from him. He kinda messy.

R24 bet you're a dead ringer Cheryl

Kerridge played a woman who gets told she looks like Monroe all the time, and becomes the object of Dennis Christopher’s obsession in the 1980 film Fade To Black. She actually gets made up and plays Monroe in some of Christopher’s fantasy sequences. Really great film of the seedy side of Hollywood, with a young Mickey Rourke in it. Sure it’s streaming somewhere.

Jenilee Harrison

I thought Kelli Garner and Ana de Armas both played Marilyn best out of all the numerous Marilyn biopics that were made over the years.

I remember seeing it on HBO in the 1980s, R29. Unfortunately the movie is so obscure I doubt it’s streamable anywhere.

R16 reminds me of Joan Collins impersonating Marilyn.

Lens Dunham may fit in for late-stage booze belly Marilyn

R32, a link to "Fade to Black" is attached. Movies too obscure to be streaming can often be found on the Internet Archive. For a while there I had a thing for a young Hugo Weaving, and I managed to see nearly his entire '1980s-90s Australian filmography there.

I don’t see the resemblance. My documentary is way better.

Suzie Kennedy played her in the Autopsy episode.

Debbie Harry

As someone noted upthread, Kerridge was cast in Fade to Black due to her likeness to Monroe. It is an uncanny resemblance IMO.

In terms of biopics, I’m also team Kelli Garner. She was excellent in her portrayal of Monroe, and the resemblance was solid. She is a great actress who should have had a better career. Her early performance in Larry Clark’s “Bully” was disturbing.
