LOS ANGELES, Californie (Reuters) - Un mythe s'effondre: Marilyn Monroe, star absolue du cinéma américain dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et canon de la beauté féminine, a eu recours au bistouri du chirurgien esthétique pour corriger apparemment un léger défaut à son menton.

Telle est la thèse défendue par la maison d'enchères Julien's Auctions, de Beverly Hills (Californie), qui mettra à l'encan les notes d'un médecin accompagnées de six clichés aux rayons X de sa patiente concernant la période comprise entre 1950 et 1962.
Le vendeur, anonyme jusqu'ici, affirme avoir reçu ces documents à titre de cadeau du Dr Michael Gurdin, chirurgien esthétique de Hollywood.
"Personne ne pensait vraiment que Marilyn Monroe avait eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique. Il y avait bien des rumeurs ici et là, mais on pensait qu'elle incarnait la beauté à l'état naturel, c'était impossible à croire", explique Martin Nolan, directeur exécutif de Julien's Auctions. Il ajoute: "A cette époque, dans les années 1950, la chirurgie esthétique était très peu courante, elle en était à ses balbutiements."
Le dossier médical de l'actrice de "Certains l'aiment chaud" et "Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes" signale à la rubrique Principale récrimination: "déformation du menton". Il fait référence à un implant de cartilage au menton réalisé en 1950, qui a été rapidement absorbé, note le chirurgien.
Les rayons X sont datés du 7 juin 1962, soit deux mois avant la mort de la comédienne des suites d'une overdose de barbituriques à l'âge de 36 ans.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A physician's notes on Marilyn Monroe that indicate that the Hollywood sex symbol had undergone cosmetic surgery will be up for sale next month along with a set of her X-rays, an auction house said on Tuesday.

 
A folder containing notes and X-rays of Marilyn Monroe
by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin
is seen in this handout photo provided by Julien's Auction
in Beverly Hills, California, October, 7, 2013.

The set of six X-rays and a file of doctors' notes that offer a partial medical history of the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" actress from 1950 to 1962, are expected to fetch between $15,000 and $30,000 at auction on November 9-10, said Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California.
The notes written by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin appear to confirm speculation that Monroe, who epitomized glamour and set a standard of movie star beauty during the latter part of Hollywood's golden era, went under the knife for cosmetic reasons. The seller, who is so far unnamed, received the items as a gift from Gurdin.

 
Notes written by Hollywood plastic surgeon Michael Gurdin appear to confirm speculation
that Marilyn Monroe went under the knife for cosmetic reasons .

"Nobody really thought about Marilyn Monroe having plastic surgery. It was always speculation - did she or didn't she?" said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions. "They thought she was such a natural beauty, they didn't want to believe."
Gurdin's notes include references to a 1950 cartilage implant in Monroe's chin, which he observed to have slowly begun to dissolve. Monroe's biggest films, such as 1953's "How to Marry a Millionaire," 1955's "The Seven Year Itch" and 1959's "Some Like It Hot," were all shot after 1950. "Also at that time, going back to the 1950s, people didn't go for plastic surgery procedures," Nolan added. "This is very, very new."

THE BROKEN NOSE MYSTERY
The X-rays are dated June 7, 1962, after Monroe saw Gurdin following a late night fall and two months before the actress would die at age 36 from an overdose of barbiturates. The death was ruled a probable suicide.
Monroe would also be fired by studio 20th Century Fox from the unfinished film "Something's Got to Give" the following day for her constant absences.
The X-rays include Monroe's frontal facial bones, a composite right and left X-ray of the sides of her nasal bones and dental X-rays of the roof of her mouth.
A set of three chest X-rays of Monroe from 1954 sold for $45,000 at a 2010 auction.
A self-published memoir by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Norman Leaf in 2010 claimed that Monroe underwent cosmetic surgery on her chin in 1950, citing the same notes made by Gurdin, Leaf's medical partner. Leaf also states in his memoir that Monroe underwent a slight rhinoplasty procedure on the tip of her nose.
A radiologist's notes included in the lot determined that there was no damage to Monroe's nose from the fall, but a recent evaluation of the X-rays found a minute fracture, the auction house said.
Doctors used the name "Joan Newman" as Monroe's alias on the X-rays which list her height as 5 feet, 6 inches and her weight as 115 lb (52 kg).
Gurdin's notes were first drawn up in 1958 when the actress complained about a "chin deformity" and the note listed her married name, Marilyn Miller. She was married to playwright Arthur Miller from 1956 to 1961. The notes also indicate that Monroe suffered from neutropenia, a low level of a white blood cell type, in 1956 while in England and had an ectopic pregnancy in 1957.

Chirurgie ou pas chirurgie pour moi cela ne change rien ! Qui plus est que je rêve de me faire refaire le nez alors ce n'est pas moi qui vais blâmer MM de l'avoir fait si elle en a eu l'occasion (si seulement j'avais moi aussi un Johnny Hyde pour m'offrir l'opération!)

[ginieland]

juste pour le fun, voir les commentaires laissés à la suite de cet article sur le huffington: http://www.huffingtonpost.fr/2013/10/09/marilyn-montroe-chirurgie-esthetique-dossiers-medicaux_n_4068161.html?icid=maing-grid7|france|dl3|sec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D214634#slide=more261192

Globalement, beaucoup de gens la défendent et aiment MM. A part quelques crétinus qui la critiquent (sans doute par pur provoc), les gens continuent d'adorer MM.

marcello: le dossier porte le nom de "Joan Newman" mais dans ce dossier, les fiches remplies ont ptre le nom de Marilyn... il y a une copie de la fiche de juillet 1958 dans l'article: le nom est "Miller Marilyn". Donc jpense qu'un pseudo a été choisi sur le dossier, afin de protéger les documents qu'il contient.



Pour le reportage de M6, ça m'a plutôt amusé. Le micro trottoir est du n'importe quoi: on aurait cru que les gens "récitaient" en disant tous la même chose. Et je suis sûre qu'ils ne connaissent en rien la carrière de Marilyn (ils connaissent juste son visage car elle est maintenant partout comme un produit de marketing). Et le médecin (ou chirurgien) qu'on voit à la fin et qui a dit exactement la même chose que moi: si opération il y a eu, c'était très minime ! donc pas la peine d'être un spécialiste pour le voir ! Et aucune explication sur les opérations éventuellement subies, donc là encore, témoignage pipo, qui n'apporte rien. Mais bon, amusant de voir qu'on parle de ça dans un JT aux heures de grande écoute d'audience.

[marcello6878x]

D'abord comment sont ils sûr que derrière Joan Newman se cache Marilyn?

[laure]

ohlala quand j'écoute le micro trottoir à ce sujet, dans le flash de M6, ça m'exaspère ! les gens sont là " c'est un mythe qui s'effondre " "ça change tout".... pffff.. n'importe quoi ! déjà, ce n'est pas un scoop, le menton et le nez, ensuite, quand on voit le nombre de filles aujourd'hui qui sont refaites de PARTOUT pour un oui ou un non, il faut arrêter !! qui plus est, c'est vraiment infime, ce qu'elle a fait "rectifier" ... elle n'a vraiment pas touché grand chose !! donc, pas de quoi crier qu'un mythe s'effondre !!!

tiens bizarre c'est 1m 63 pourtant il me semble bien que dans le kivre c'était 1m67 et demi qu'elle disait faire j'y comprends plus rien lol

[lolie111]

Aussi, j'ai oublié de le dire dans mon premier com, n'oublions pas que Marilyn parfois pouvait triché sur sa taille, dans l'interviez de Belmont elle avait dit qu'elle mesurait "presque 1 m 67 et demi" mouais alors à moins que ce soit une erreur de traduction française, c'est bien la preuve qu'elle pouvait inventer, mais ça arrive à pleind e femmes d'ailleurs de ne pas assumer et de complexer, et de mentir sur leur âge, taille, poids, etc

[lolie111]

Sinon pour le nez c'est vraiment pas clair, un coup on a la preuve qu'elle n'a pas touché à son nez, un coup elle l'a corrigé. Je pense qu'on saura jamais lol mais qu'importe on s'en fiche elle était incroyablement belle et la beauté ne se résume pas à des proportions du visage il y a d'autres choses comme le charme, l'attitude etc..

[lolie111]

A la morgue c'etait 1 m 66 ou 65 mais parfois ca peut varier de la manière dont on mesure, moi je fais 1m 68 mais j'ai été mesurée à d'autres reprises à 1m 69 ou 67
