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.
1. Marilyn Monroe Birthday Dress
Check Out This CC
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.
