Monroe didn't like to be photographed without makeup, so very few "normal" photos of her exist. She wasn't just suffering from body dysmorphia and depression, she felt ugly on the inside and couldn't stand the thought of anyone seeing the real her.

We all know that she was naturally gorgeous, there's no arguing that. But as her career gained steam her insecurities bubbled up beyond the booze and the pills that she used to drown out her demons until she couldn't repress the pain anymore

Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home on August 5, 1962. Her maid discovered her face down and nude in her bed, a telephone in one hand and prescription medication strewn around the carpet. There are numerous conspiracy theories behind the actress' death, but it's most likely that she overdosed in the nadir of depression.
