My mom says Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful woman on earth. She is quite not sure who Marilyn Monroe was. She thinks she's the sister of Matt Monro.

That's not showing your Mom in the best light.

That is actually true.

But who wouldn't be, she's got arguably the best eyes in history.....

With all the genetic mutations, double rows of eyelashes and the rare violet eyes

Can you blame her?

I prefer the one who only used plastic surgery to enhance her natural beauty, not create it.

They're both gorgeous women and very talented in their own right. Marilyn was just beginning to show what she could do as a dramatic actress in The Misfits. I think the rest of the 60s would've been amazing to her in the roles that she could've played.

I feel as though Marilyn is somewhat overrated. But she was talented and beautiful.

There were so many famous gorgeous talented women back in the 50's & 60's, i could only imagine the jealousy going around.

We know Monroe had the impact bigger that Liz's and some argue that they are two of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen, what about the talent?

Marilyn was one of Lee Strasberg's most gifted students. Just never got the chance.
