Marilyn Monroe a eu recours à la chirurgie esthétique
par Reuters le 8 octobre 2013
en ligne sur yahoo.fr / online yahoo.com

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.

Marilyn Monroe plastic surgery notes, X-rays up for auction
online yahoo.com
online tvnz.co.nz

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.

Pale Turquoise Silk Suit
from 'Niagara' 
tailleur en soie de couleur turquoise pâle
porté dans le film 'Niagara'

Cet ensemble tailleur jupe veste a été conçu par la célèbre costumière de cinéma, Dorothy Jeakins pour le film Niagara tourné l'été 1952 à la frontière canadienne. Dorothy Jeakins s'occupa de tous les costumes du film. Marilyn Monroe fit les essais de test costumes le 21 mai 1952 (voir photo ci-contre).
C'est une tenue moderne et classique à la fois, très près du corps, à la veste cintrée et dont la jupe, longue, dessine parfaitement les courbes de Marilyn. Elle porte la tenue avec des sandales ouvertes blanches.
Il semblerait qu'elle ne porte pas de chemisier sous la veste, mais peut-être est-elle en soutien-gorge ou a-t-elle un fin corsage ?!

Dans Niagara, Marilyn porte ce tailleur dans une courte scène où son personnage Rose Loomis, femme fatale énigmatique, sort de son bungalow et salue ses voisins, les époux Cutler. On ne la voit donc avec cette tenue que brièvement, marchant d'un pas alerte et déterminé.
Il existe une série de photographies de Marilyn prises sur le tournage portant ce tailleur, où on la découvre consciensieuse et concentrée auprès de Jean Peters, révisant ses scènes. Puis, elle va aussi poser pour des portraits publicitaires du film, assise sur un muret devant les fameuses chutes du Niagara.

Marilyn va ensuite emprunter la robe, pour la porter le 26 juin 1952 à la cour de justice de Los Angeles, dans un procès qui l'opposait à Kaupman et Kaplen, qui avait utilisé son nom pour vendre des photos de nus.

Le tailleur avait ensuite été récupéré (racheté sans doute à un petit prix) par l'actrice Debbie Reynolds, qui organisa, le 3 décembre 2011, une vente aux enchères où elle revendait une grande partie de sa collection d'objets et de costumes de cinéma.
Le tailleur, mis à prix à 80 000 Dollars, fut vendu pour la somme de 210 000 Dollars.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Le privé Jack Pasolsky est bien marri quand la maîtresse de Marilyn Monroe déboule dans son bureau, que la soeur de Marilyn Monroe le pend par les pieds par-dessus un balcon chic d'un gratte-ciel de Central Park, que Robert Kennedy lui ment et que la mafia le poursuit. Tout cela et bien d'autres calamités encore qui ont pour but unique d'empêcher la découverte de la vérité sur l'assassinat de celle qui ne porte que du Chanel Nº5 sur la peau quand elle dort au couvent de la Miséricorde, ce qui est une absolue absurdité. Ah, oui, j'allais oublier: Joe, la fille de John Barnett et néanmoins la secrétaire de Pasolsky, possède l'une des plus belles plasties de la galaxie (même si, en dehors de notre bonne vieille terre, les arrière-trains extra-terrestres y sont à militer pour l'abstinence éternelle).

Les clins d'oeils à Marilyn au Cinéma

   - Le crime est notre affaire -

Dans le film "Le crime est notre affaire", de Pascal Thomas, en 2008, Prudence (Catherine Frot) dépose en voiture son mari le colonel Bélisaire Beresford (André Dussolier) devant la gare: il doit prendre un train pour se rendre à une conférence avec des Irlandais. C'est alors qu'il se trouve bloqué sur une grille d'aération: la lanière de son sac s'est coincé dans la grille et son kilt se soulève sous l'effet du vent. Il s'agit d'un clin d'oeil de la célèbre scène de Marilyn du film "Sept ans de réflexion" où sa robe se soulève sous l'effet du vent des grilles d'aération du métro.

Elle arrive à se faire embaucher comme cuisinière chez la famille Charpentier, dont la propriété jouxte l'endroit où le cadavre a probablement été jeté hors du train. Le père Charpentier (Claude Rich), radin et acariâtre, reçoit ses trois fils : Frédéric, Raphaël et Augustin.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Qui était véritablement Marilyn Monroe ? Une femme fatale, une star internationalement reconnue, ou une femme fragile, inconsciente de son sex-appeal et simplement désireuse d'être aimée. Depuis sa disparition, l'énigme demeure. Il ne reste de Marilyn que des clichés qui reflètent parfois la fêlure d'un être prisonnier d'une image. Pourquoi celle qui avait tout ce qu'une femme peut souhaiter s'est lentement laissée dériver vers la mort ? Quelles angoisses pouvaient expliquer sa conduite ? Comment ce sex- symbol a-t-il pu séduire Arthur Miller, une figure de la littérature américaine, et croiser le destin de Laurence Olivier, le plus grand acteur d'Angleterre ? Fondée sur des documents inédits, cette biographie explore le parcours d'une personnalité unique et aborde des pans juisqu'alors occultés de sa vie. Au-delà du mythe, l'histoire de Norma Jean Baker est une tragédie qui n'a pas fini de nous fasciner. Celle d'une femme incapable de vaincre ses démons, qui finit par se trahir elle-même. finit par se trahir elle-même.

Description: Ni biographie complaisante, ni biographie scandaleuse ou non autorisée, l'approche biographique de Barbara Leaming a l'intelligence de s'intéresser au cas Marilyn vu de l'intérieur, du point de vue de la femme. Marilyn, une femme est donc un travail exhaustif et rigoureux sur la vie du sex-symbol number one du XXe siècle et, en même temps, sur le quotidien d'une femme sensible et intelligente, sujette au doute, perpétuellement à la quête du grand amour, fébrile et désarçonnée face à la peur de vieillir.

Marilyn avait les yeux gris-bleus, le nez mutin, une peau blanche lumineuse "un corps parfait même pour Hollywood qui n'en manquait pas". Au contact des hommes, elle provoquait des réactions pour le moins épidermiques, la fascination et le désir se mêlaient dans leur regard. Jo Di Maggio, Arthur Miller, Yves Montand, Laurence Olivier, John Fitzgerald Kennedy l'ont serrée dans leurs bras, des millions d'Américains dans leurs rêves. Tous furent fous d'elle. La vie de Marilyn relève du conte de fées et de la tragédie. Cette biographie passionnante aide à mieux saisir le mythe Marilyn, femme promue au-delà de la femme et pourtant femme parmi les femmes. --Denis Gombert

Description: Barbara Leaming's Marilyn Monroe is a complex, sympathetic portrait that will forever change the way we view the most enduring icon of America sexuality. To those who think they have heard all there is to hear about Marilyn Monroe, think again. Leaming's book tells a brand-new tale of sexual, psychological, and political intrigue of the highest order. Told for the first time in all its complexity, this is a compelling portrait of a woman at the center of a drama with immensely high stakes, a drama in which the other players are some of the most fascinating characters from the worlds of movies, theater, and politics. It is a book that shines a bright light on one of the most tumultuous, frightening, and exciting periods in American culture.
Basing her research on new interviews and on thousands of primary documents--including revealing letters by Arthur Miller, Elia Kazan, John Huston, Laurence Olivier, Tennessee Williams, Darryl Zanuck, Marilyn's psychiatrist Dr. Ralph Greenson, and many others--Leaming has reconstructed the tangle of betrayal in Marilyn's life. For the first time, a master storyteller has put together all of the pieces and told Marilyn's story with the intensity and drama it so richly deserves.
At the heart of this book is a sexual triangle and a riveting story that has never been told before. You will come away filled with new respect for Marilyn's incredible courage, dignity, and loyalty, and an overwhelming sense of tragedy after witnessing Marilyn, powerless to overcome her demons, move inexorably to her own final, terrible betrayal of herself.
Marilyn Monroe is a book that will make you think--and will break your heart.
