Marilyn Monroe

Of course, Manilyn Monroe! Our list wouldn’t be accurate and incomplete if we don’t have her here. She was considered one of the most beautiful women back then and as it is today. Even when she died half a century ago, her beauty is still remembered by many people. “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring,” are the words she lived by.
