What is IT about Marilyn Monroe?

I just saw a story about more lost photos of Marilyn Monroe being published for the first time. It seems like there are always more photos of her being found.

Here is a link to one of them:


It is one of 20 pictures if you want to look at more.

She is obviously a beautiful woman but there are a lot of beautiful women in Hollywood. And to me she wasn't Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca when it comes to being a woman who captivated me. What do you think made her an icon? Was dying young part of it so we never saw her aging like Elizabeth Taylor? Or did she have a special charisma that jumped off the screen?

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.
