Someone really had to do awful work to make Marilyn look so bad.
What 16 Old Hollywood Stars Would Look Like If They Were Alive Today

Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, and other actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood left an imprint on our hearts with their talent and unbelievable beauty. Fashion and beauty trends change fast, and the way modern celebrities look differs from what we see in good old movies. And it’s so exciting to see what classic Hollywood beauties would look like if they were in their prime today.

man you only changed their hairstyle
Awfull
they all look the same except they have longer hair. none of these are realistic
Does nearly every modern woman have long goth hair (cf. Shirley Temple, lol), blusher, George Harrison eyebrows and lipstick applied outside the liplines? And what did you do with Grace Kelly's nose? - it doesn't even look like her anymore! As do some of the others - Vivien Leigh looks like Martin Landau in drag!
