Subtle foreshadowing.
That’s a really cool picture.
I believe it is true she could wear a flour sack and look beautiful.
Abe and a babe.
Imagine the advertising if she was in a Lincoln instead of a Caddy. Missed opportunity 😂👍
Crazy to think we are almost as far in time from that picture as she was when the pic of Lincoln was taken.
Abraham Lincoln’s death to the moment this picture was taken was 89 years. The moment this picture was taken to now was 69 years.
This will be a much more interesting little tidbit in 20 years.
Lincoln died 89 years before this picture. Today that would be like admiring a politician from the Great Depression.
Hey Blinkin!
Neat.
‘You boys masturbate to pictures of me check out my go to…’
Marilyn’s admiration for Abraham Lincoln is truly inspiring. It’s amazing how she saw him as a father figure and ideal. Such a unique connection between two iconic figures.
I like a women who appreciates history
Original Barbenheimer, old dude + hot lady odd coupling. Potential names include:
– Lincolnroe
– Marilincoln
– Monroln
– Lyncoln
Woah! Baberaham Lincoln!
If you had no context for this picture, this would be bizarre.
This is so random, I love it.
America AF
That tummy tho
Abe kind of looks like Arthur Miller there.
It’s our President’s Day Blowout Sale – Sunday… Sunday…!
Babe-raham Lincoln- amirite?
Based
This is a side I’ve never heard before, and I’d hazard a guess most haven’t, either.

That whole becoming the next Lincoln thing….in more ways than one, unfortunately.
Beautiful Marilyn. 😍💓
Did this woman ever take a bad photograph? I’ve seen well over a thousand pictures of her….just stunning in every one. That includes when she got heavier and was drinking/popping pills near the end. She looked sad in those but was still beautiful.
So much death in one picture
Ummm, why?
My 91 year old father has a picture of Marilyn Monroe in fatigues standing in a Jeep from when he was in the Korean War and was on RR in Japan at the time. She was entertaining the troops. He went on to become a professional photographer. I should post the photo here. It is a great shot!
Strange to think only 90 years separated them in this photo. Today this would be someone holding up a picture of FDR
To think that back then it only been 89 years since Abraham Lincoln died
You can tell it was the 50’s by how young Abe looks!! 😏
She has on a wedding ring. Any idea who she was married to at this time?
I think it’s eerie foreboding that she’s in an open convertible holding a picture of a beloved president killed by a bullet and then her real time beloved president got killed by a bullet in an open convertible and she wasn’t alive to hold him or his picture anymore.
Good Lord that woman was gorgeous
