The New Monroe Doctrine

Sunday, March 2, 2008

Hello, Norma Jean. Again. Marilyn Monroe has been gone for more than 45 years, but she's with us now as ever, thanks to the never-ending string of women and a few men for whom she is an inspiration, or just a costume. The latest wanna-be, Lindsay Lohan, went for the Marilyn of "The Last Sitting," a gutsy move given that it was the last photo shoot before Monroe died of a drug overdose, and Lohan knows a thing or two about substance abuse. Lohan, newly sprung from rehab, was clearly trying to alert Hollywood that she's back in the business, but will it work? Hard to say. Judging by these pictures, Lindsay is no Marilyn. In fact, we rounded up other Monroe imitators who we think do the job at least as well as Lohan. But you be the judge.
