What size was marilyn monroe?

Answer 1

theres that rumour that goes around that she was a 16 (12 in the US) but that was when she died.  

Answer 2

did you know she had 6 toes on one foot

Answer 3

Well, it looks like that's a kind of controversial question. I've always heard that she wore a size 12, though that seemed a bit big to me.  Here's what I found: http://marilynmonroepages.com/facts.html They say a size 12 dress, a size 8 in pants.

This person, who has tried on her dresses, says she wasn't even close to a 12, that Marilyn as the plus-size icon is a myth: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story...

Others say it's complicated by the difference in sizing then and sizing now: http://www.justsaywhen.com/Vintage-101-S...
