Marilyn Monroe smoking in a video  

I don't think that an image of marilyn monroe smoking a ciggarette would ruin her image, even if this is a "real" video. at the time that she was popular and famous, smoking was considered something glamourous....almost all the start did it. It was not unusal to see stars and starlets with ciggs in their hands and an alcoholic beverage in the other.

I heard that, that particular video is not fake. It was the real one. Marilyn may have smoked that cigarette or she may had posed with that one, in front of a camera. Probably these videos are not released that time when she was alive because it may hamper her public image.
