I read it was at that time already, prior to becoming famous. No big deal, doesn't take from natural beauty, noses get marred by so many things, like accidents, maltreating, etc. so surgery only restores natural form.

much later in life

CBZander Marilyn did NOT have a nose job. Rumor has it she had some cartilage removed from the tip of her nose whereas a nose job is when the surgeon literally breaks the bone and reshapes it. Clearly MM didn't have that done. No actual evidence exists of a chin implant, apart from medical files with another woman's name on them touted as Monroe's. No proof though. Comparing Norma Jeane's and MM's chin at any time and they look the same. Sad when hearsay becomes "fact" because of salacious biographers desperate to sell their new book on MM are forced to come up with "new evidence" to stand out from the THREE HUNDRED books already written about her.

JillPetersen MM's apparent surgeries are completely put down to a man saying he got her medical files from a surgeon friend of his. And... these medical files have another woman's name on them. Now, it is obvious that a celebrity would want to be incognito during surgery, but other than that, we literally have no proof she had any work done. If she did, we'd be able to compare MM vs Norma pics and see major differences - after all, she was a highly photographed person. But she looks the same other than lighting and make-up as MM. So, quit the surgery rumors. They are old and only based on gossip and spurious files, not fact.
