Always one to capitalize on publicity like this, Twentieth Century Fox made the best of the situation, putting together the infamous photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe posing in a burlap potato sack tailor-made for her notorious figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newspapers around the country picked up the photos proving that Monroe could look fantastic in a potato sack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alternative story is that it wasn\u2019t a female journalist who made a negative comment. It was a positive comment made by an unknown person that Monroe looked good enough to make burlap sacks sexy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comment supposedly inspired Twentieth Century Fox to schedule the photo shoot. Whatever happened, these photos are a real treasure, showing a lighter side to Monroe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1946\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1947\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1948\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1950\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1951\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-7-423x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1952\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/positivenegativeimpact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Marilyn-and-the-Potato-Sack-Dress-c-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1949\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Photos by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/news-photo\/american-actress-singer-model-and-sex-symbol-marilyn-monroe-news-photo\/607436974?adppopup=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Earl Theisen\/Getty Images<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marilyn Monroe has many iconic photos and looks \u2013 standing over a grate with her dress blowing up, blowing out a candle, and many others.
