1962

Actress ​​Merilin Monroe congratulates John F. Kennedy, 1962.

The actress appeared on stage in a translucent figure-hugging dress strewn with rhinestones. There was no laundry under it. Marilyn herself called her outfit, made by designer Jean Louis, "leather and beads." Later, Edlai Stevenson, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, also present at the evening, wrote to Mary Lasker, "I didn't see the beads!"

Monroe, who was noticeably drunk, ran up to the microphone with small steps, which is why many compared her to a geisha. The hair looked unnatural - there is an assumption that she was wearing a wig. When Marilyn began to sing, the hall momentarily froze. The manner of performing the innocent song "Happy birthday" was very erotic - it was hard to believe that this was happening in a huge hall filled with people. Journalist Dorothy Kilgallen later described it as: "It's like she's making love to the president in front of forty million Americans."
