Is this a real person or a statue?  Looks just like her either way!

VB - she was one of the great beauties of her time and remains an icon today! Mary - I'm pretty sure this is a wax version of Marilyn, but I could be wrong - VB?

And here I thought Marilyn Monroe had died many years ago. Of course, I also thought that about Elvis, but he’s seen all over the place still!

By the way, be sure to stop by and read my Pay It Forward (part 4) post; you have a shout-out!

Marilyn Monroe is a classic icon, and will always be remembered.  I think it is very awesome that Hollywood keeps her legacy alive.

I think she may be a wax figure. No how, she was a beauty. Passed way too young.

Hello everyone and yes this is a statue but when I first saw it I thought it was real. I had to go up to it to actually see if it was a real person dressed to look like Marilyn. This statue is located on Hollywood Blvd very close to the Chinese Wax Museum.
