  1. That is a great photo! Monroe was so beautiful! :)

  2. Ouch….looks like a bad job to me. Or scar I should say..

  3. I think this shows Marilyn as a true star showing her quote “imperfection is beauty”.

  4. That is not where the appendix is located. That is the scar from having her gallbladder removed.

  5. I agree, that is not the location of an appendix scar.
    In 1961 at the Polyclinic Hospital of New York MM had a gallbladder operation. In addition, Marilyn suffered from an ulcerated colon and abnormal bleeding from the uterus.
    She was a beautiful woman!

  6. I stand corrected – serves me right for believing what I find on the internet! ;)
