In 1962, six weeks before she was dead from an overdose at age 36, Marilyn Monroe posed for photographer Bert Stern at the Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles. This set of famous pics are now referred to as “The Last Sitting.”

She’s just 21, yet actress Lindsay Lohan managed to land Bert Stern as her photographer.

“If you saw my house, I have a lot of Marilyn stuff. I’ve got this painting of her in my house. It’s eerie because it’s a picture and it’s kind of like a cartoon, and there’s a big bottle of pills next to her, and they’ve fallen over.”
Lindsay on Marilyn Monroe

Lindsay seems to have more than just a “thing” for Marilyn:

“Lindsay Lohan has purchased the Los Angeles apartment that movie legend Marilyn Monroe once called home. The 20-year-old, who is currently in rehab at the Wonderland Center in the Hollywood Hills, is expected to move into Monroe’s former two-bedroom apartment after her treatment is completed.”

Anna Nicole Smith emulated Monroe, even dying in a similar manner from a drug overdose Feb. 7, 2007, at age 39.

“The body is still warm and already the comparisons begin between Anna Nicole Smith and Marilyn Monroe. This is a denegrating insult to our American film heritage and to the legacy of Marilyn Monroe.

Let’s put the idea back in the cupboard now. While Anna Nicole Smith was an accomplished hussy who also attempted acting in bad movies, Marilyn Monroe was an accomplished actress who needed men. There is no comparison on their accomplishments. None at all.” Source – Right Pundits

Madonna denied she had a thing for Marilyn, yet Fleadip, the Anti-Madonna site, has a compilation of photos which shows Madonna copied more than just Marilyn’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”

“To the Editor:
Francine Prose’s article illustrates precisely why equating Madonna with Monroe is akin to likening articifically processed food to fresh produce: derivative, canned packaging is devoid of both the substance and flavor of the genuine article.” Source – New York Times

Britney Spears, Feb. 2007, Esquire Magazine

“Twenty feet away from me, Britney Spears is pantless. Her sculpted hair makes her look like Marilyn Monroe on a date with DiMaggio, assuming they’re going to Manhattan’s finest pantless restaurant. She’s wearing a sweater that probably costs more than my parents’ house, and her white heels add five inches to her five-foot-four pantless frame. Oh, and did I mention she’s pantless? She’s not wearing any pants. This is a hard detail to ignore.”

A few words from Britney on.. sexuality… from her Esquire photo shoot and the Marilyn “Sweater” pose.

“I was just talking about sexuality with my makeup artist,” she tells me. “And I was explaining to her that when I was thirteen years old, I used to walk around my house completely naked. And my dad would say, ‘Britney, put some clothes on, we have people over.’ My family just always walked around the house naked. We were earthy people. I’ve never been ashamed of my body. We were very free people. (Interview with Chuck Klosterman) Source - Esquire

Are these Marilyn “posers” a case of “imitation being the sincerest form of flattery”?

Lindsay admits having a Marilyn fetish while according to the site, Fleadip, Madonna incorporated Marilyn’s poses into some of her early videos as well as in 2003, in a W magazine spread.

Anna Nicole wanted to be Marilyn but became an infamous icon in her own right.

Britney most likely used the Marilyn “theme” for the photo spread in Esquire but we couldn’t find any mention of a previous Marilyn “crush.”

In our opinion these ladies may have tried to imitate Marilyn but invariably fell short as none of them will ever be as beautiful or as sexy as Marilyn was. Marilyn was in a class all by herself.
