Marilyn Monroe’s nude swim

This is her famous scene from Something’s Got to Give.

It’s such a beautiful demonstration of her bright smile and charisma, although the nudity is minimal. She filmed this scene in the spring of 1962. She would die that August. If Something’s Got to Give had been completed and released as planned, MM would have been the first mainstream star to end the topless drought in the “Code” era, which had begin some three decades earlier. Instead, Jayne Mansfield broke the tape in Promises! Promises! (1963).
