This Monday, let’s travel back in time to Madison Square Garden in New York City, 1955, when Marilyn Monroe stole the show at a charity event for Arthritis and Rheumatism, hosted by the Ringling Bros. Circus. Getting in the circus spirit, Marilyn straddled an enormous elephant and waved at the adoring crowd. She was game for anything, always a smile on her face and a glint in her eye.

She was always the most beautiful creature in the room as well, and that night was no exception. Here’s a plethora of pics from that evening to prove it. I believe some of these shots are from another arthritis charity event from the same year, but don’t quote me on that. Anyways, who cares? Just enjoy the view.








You can never go wrong with Marilyn Monroe, what an enigmatic beauty. I could totally see her as the Ring Mistress for a Circus.
