Exploring Her Inner Self
Marilyn Monroe, not often associated with fitness, harbored hidden talents that she rarely showcased. “I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that’s not easy,” Marilyn remarked on one occasion.
However, during a 1952 interview with LIFE magazine, she disclosed her daily weightlifting routine, and in a 1948 series of black-and-white photos, she demonstrated some yoga asanas. Rumors also circulated that she had studied under Indra Devi, a Swedish-Russian Bollywood film star, further adding to her multifaceted interests.
