Mad Men - Bye Bye Birdie vs. Patio Diet Cola Ad Comparison Video

- From Mad Men - 3x04 - The Arrangements: the Patio Diet Cola advertisement imitating the opening scene from Bye Bye Birdie.
I tried my best to sync it up. The most logical way for me to do that was to use audio cues: some kind of brass instrument was prominent and easy to pick up on, so I used that. I separated the audio: left is the original and right is the Patio Diet Cola ad from Mad Men. As you can see for yourself, the ad is not "an exact copy, frame for frame" as Ken Cosgrove says. It's pretty close though, though it's not as close as the Dirty Dancing scene from How I Met Your Mother (see my other videos for that one).

Better part is when Sal does a imitation of the commercial for his wife in the bedroom and his wife's "OMG I married a gay guy" look on her face. Epic
th-cam.com/video/h4Rm3ZxOO4s/w-d-xo.html
I was always perplexed that she really didn't know this until that very moment. She had to have had an inkling, right?
She was like: "I made a terrible mistake".
That look of shock on her face is still etched in my mind. Still, I'm surprised she never suspected it til then.
I died when I saw her facial expression change from happy to "WTF???!"
I've always thought the reason why it's so off not only cause like they said "it's not Ann Margret" is cause Sal is playing up more of the campy musical theatre quality of the original and didn't direct it with the intention of sex appeal because he's gay. It's so subtle but that subtlety is what made this show so brilliant. God I miss it.
Bryan Batt's portrayal of Sal Romano is rife with subtlety and conflict. You can tell that he's not comfortable with being gay, and probably never had sex with a man until the bellhop in season 4. And when he's pitching this commercial to his wife, her reaction as she realizes "OMG, my husband's gay"...
I was sad to see his character written out of the story.
***** I'm not talking about the ad, I'm talking about Bryan portrayal of a gay man in the 60's who wishes he wasn't gay.
Yeah, a bit broad and OTT. I caught on to his situation the first episode, with the Lucky Strike drawing of the shirtless guy, but figured it's TV, so the writing wouldn't be subtle.
well what you are describing it's not a stereotypical gay but much more like a stereotypical italian.
Spot-on interpretation
I watched this episode last night.
Bryan Batt's portrayal of Sal Romano is the most nuanced, subtle and effective acting on the show.
That scene was so perfectly acted.
Bryan is a great actor and guy.
Sal was one of my favorite characters because you can see how sad/uncomfortable he feels and also probably he is always worried that someone finds out he's gay...leaving his sexual orientation aside, Sal was a great guy, I think he could have been like a good friend with Don or at least a top guy with everyone at SC. The 60s were weird because there was a lot of classy things (cars, houses, etc) and a lot artistic stuff (Bob Dylan, Warhol,etc) but still it was a very mysoginistic, homophobic, racist and elitist moment. Such a shame that Sal was removed from the show
I love Sal Romano. One of my favorite characters!!
@@davecespedes5674 It was better than it is now..
'It's not Ann Margret.'
You said it, Roger.
Actually is Roger Sterling who says that ;)
Albert Fernandez That's what I said.
this is 4 years old but you changed your comment...
@@thevideocommenter3061 it would say edited next to it though if he did...
@Last Earthbender Did you just come to my 6 year old comment to make the claim that the actress in Mad Men is more attractive than Ann Margret in this clip? You are insane.
I like when the execs pass on it and Don says "This is exactly and I mean..... exactly what you asked for."
Once in a while we get little hints that Don isn't as in touch with popular culture as he thinks he is. In another episode he couldn't tell the difference between the Beatles and a soundalike band (that actually sounded nothing like the Beatles). Interestingly, Roger could tell in a split second what was "off" about the knockoff commercial: It wasn't Ann-Margret.
@@host_theghost507 in the commentary weiner talks about how the ad men, and really everybody who capitalizes on current trends, are necessarily always a step behind, they can always just react, as soon as something is called "cool" it's not cool anymore.
For example that beatles knockoff band sounded like the beatles... but during their early career (I wanna hold your hand etc), when at the time they were already into their more experimental phase
@@Toxodos Excellent point. When I worked in advertising there were a lot of guys like that. I once got dinged for using a Bob Dylan lyric in ad copy because Dylan wasn't "current." Apparently SnapChat was "current." One year later, Dylan had won the Nobel Prize and the kids had moved on to TikTok.
This was a great episode, when Sal's wife finally realizes he's gay.
Yes, it really hit home...
MerleOberon ?? why did your husband lie to you for so many years and you found out he was really gay?
george gonzalez
certainly as a hispanic you understand the concept of being down low
Who said I'm Hispanic?
george gonzalez
Gonzalez, hello?
"bye bye SUGAR" oof when she said sugar it hurt me and i cringed so hard
“Who doesn’t want a drink that sounds like a floor.”
I think when the guys in the board room say that something is "off" about the commercial they mean it's very "camp". Which is something that would be right up Sal's alley but is lost on the people of Patio. A really well written scene that gives the viewer a glimpse of the kind of guy Salvatore Romano really is on the inside.
🎯🎯
The actress/singer from the Mad Men version is drop dead gorgeous though... 🤯😛
they put her in a dress that made her look heavy
big mistake
@@thewkovacs316top heavy more like 😏
Omg! The look on her face when Sal did that dance was completely priceless!! She knew exactly what was up! 😂😂😂
Ann-Margret was incredible in this! The iconic musical number that serves as a prologue and epilogue to the 1963 musical comedy "Bye Bye Birdie" was something of an afterthought. Six months after principal photography ended on the musical, director George Sidney brought the film's young star Ann-Margret back to Columbia Pictures to shoot the new musical number, "Bye Bye Birdie." And the rest is pop culture history. Placed on a treadmill with a fan hitting her red tresses, Ann-Margret was shot against a vibrant blue background. The treadmill moved her back and forth in front of the camera, as she crooned the tune in a form-fitting dress with a flouncy skirt. "Mr. Sidney came up with the idea," recalled Ann-Margret, who is now 75. "The studio didn't want to do it, so he paid for it himself. When the studio saw the actual movie with that they reimbursed him." "Mad Men" paid homage to that song when they tried to re-create it for a cola ad. It was a disaster, which lead ad exec Roger Sterling to explain the reason it didn't work was because "it's not Ann-Margret." The film made Ann-Margret, who had previously appeared in Frank Capra's "Pocketful of Miracles" in 1961 as the daughter of Bette Davis, and 1962's "State Fair," with Pat Boone, an overnight sensation. George Sydney went on to direct her in "Viva Las Vegas" with Elvis Presley, as well as "The Swinger" with Tony Franciosa.
I loved your post here. I remember seeing the Ann Margaret in the movie opener and ending, and thinking it was the best part of the movie. To re-create it on Madmen was in a way genius. It is fun to watch someone do this even if it is in a fun way. I love that mad men actually got most of the timing and moves almost identical to Anns version. So loving this. Thank you again for your information about this wonderful fun movie. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your informative post. I have been looking around trying to find out why so many people were so blown away by this back in the day. When you watch Ann-Margret's performance closely, it makes sense. There is actually a lot of subtlety going on here, but if you pay attention, one can see why people were so moved by this performance. The expressions on her face are expressing her emotions about Birdie going off to war.
I feel like people back then understood subtlety and facial expressions much better than we do now. Perhaps it's because of the way we convey information and emotions now, which somewhat differs from back then. Back then, because of censors and other social restrictions, movies and TV had to imply ideas more often than they could just come out and say them or show them. I think that trained people to "read between the lines" as it were. They paid more attention to facial expressions, or dialogue that danced around possibly taboo ideas at the time to convey them to the viewer.
It's just interesting to me, these differences in the way we today view media compared to the way our grandparents or great grandparents did in their day. Society has changed a lot since then, and some of those changes are much more subtle and harder to discern than one might think.
This Ann-Margret scene from Bye Bye Birdie and the reactions people had to it back then is a great example of just how different things really are. And many of those differences are not as obvious as one might think.
Crooning is singing softly to avoid overpowering the microphone. Both singers are quite loud, almost the opposite of crooning, maybe overpowering her vocal cords :-) . She did better on The Flintstones.
I love Ann-Margaret but that movie is an abomination of the original 1960 musical. Chita Rivera and Kay Medford should have been in the film Janet Leigh was terrible.
@@01What10 I think it is obvious sex appeal. I see no subtlety at all. A woman acting like a teen girl pouting and being dramatic and acting like she is about to lose it over losing her man. It makes a man feel wanted and in a subtextual way, makes a man think Ann-Margaret wants him. That is why she is staring right at you, and demurring and pouting and being coy. Women think she's cute and want to be her, men think she's hot and want her. The 60's aren't that hard to decipher.
I just love that Madmen took this on. So fun and yet wonder why no one else ever did this before. The movements are really close to the original. Amazing. The opening and closing of Bye Bye Birdie is to me the best movie beginning and ending of all time. Love it.
I feel so bad for Sal 😞
He was the first LGBT character I cared about
and the last xd
I felt worse for Kitty.
It's interesting to me all the comments trying to break down what Mad Men did wrong. You realize that within the context of the show they're not supposed to have "nailed" it? It's supposed to feel lacking and missing that certain something. That's why the client wasn't happy with it and why Roger says what he says.
Both voices are like nails to my spinal cord.
Belle B used to auto tune much
Ann was supposed to sing like that to represent Kim who is 15
I'm glad I'm not the only person that feels this singing is horrible - how could they think she could sing?
@@hamzax283 Bruh, I'm an actual, trained vocalist and even I can't stand it. I dunno, maybe its from the fact that when TV/Radio became prevalent they didn't really know how to act/speak for it, so that's where the... accent? speaking style? came from back then... maybe it bled into vocals... but no... just because something is well known, won't go away, and lot's of people have done it, it doesn't mean that it's objectively 'good'. Look at the Kardashians.
Lol well,@Phi-Dung Nguyen , thank you for your kind words, but it seems you haven't actually bothered to read my comment. I clearly state- almost from the very first words- that I believed it was likely due to the 'staged' nature of the presentation. Not sure why you were so personally enraged and made combative by my comment (I strongly suspect it had to do with the fact that I DARED to speak ill of a certain clan .. the Dutchesses of Dumbass Drama, methinks?) but I guess that has to do with me being a.. what was it, again... 'an uncultured simpleton'? Hahaha
i miss sal
I wish we found out what happened to Sal. His storyline was sort of tragic to me. Him and Beth (minor character) are the two stories that bum me out the most.
@@RachelDavis705 who was Beth again?
@@catsrule1343 Beth was the woman Pete slept with but she had a lobotomy and forgot who he was.
@@RachelDavis705 I thought it was ECT? Man, I have forgotten so much of this show myself...
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Yeah, it was ECT, sorry
Patio?!?! What an awful name for a drink.
They quickly renamed it Diet Pepsi after only one year
In spanish patio means yard, just imagine yourself asking for a yard in the store
Mathias Varela its the same in english
@@bassesatta9235 really ?? i didnt know it. i allways called back yard.
Fernando Molina Argudo yeah google it. thats what my mum would call the backyard (but since where i live our backyard is 80% hard floor, and not grass). to be more specific, a patio is an outdoor area in your home where you eat, and since our backyard was mostly hard cement we would usually have dinners there. thus the patio
Peggy was right...a grown up woman acting like a 14 year old😃
Remember Mad Men episode well.
"Is that what she's doing?"
Geoff Bosco yes the whole musical number is to show how girly and immature the heroine is
@@mediaguyking7045 I was quoting Sal's response when Peggy said that in the episode.
ugly girl sour grapes
the original was about innocence. There's is about selling a product. The commercil in itself is the destruction of innocence. It ties in nicely with Sally's story arc
Deep!
Not really.
What a wonderful use of contrast. Great job trying to sync these two Genius.
The best part of the whole episode for me, apart from Sal's outing, is Don's face when he watches the first clip, and has that enchanted smile, jus sums it up.
BRAVO!! BRAVO!! I was sitting here listening/watching 'State Fair' ('62 - B. Darren, P. Boone, Ann-Margret) while perusing the web when I came across this gem. How serendipitous! There was but one Ann-Margret, never to be successfully duplicated, the camera loved her in such a special way. I didn't think in all my 60 years ANY ONE would go to these extremes over movies but me! You are my new hero, thanks for sharing - I am off to see your other works! Good Luck!!
When you fin watching the whole series and this song has so much more meaning.
how so?
@@keelahrose I'm assuming the reference is about Don calling Betty "Birdy" and when he divorces her he has to say Bye Bye to his Birdy
@@SkyreeXScalabar but he always calls her birdy, its her nick name
Great job! A lot of effort on your part to compare the two videos. A+
Many people say they first heard of Ann Margaret from this Mad Men episode. I'm the opposite (sort of). I remember seeing Bye Bye Birdie in the theaters when it first came out in 1963, but not having cable, I never have seen any episode of Mad Men before :o
Thanks again for posting this 😃
Ann just jumps off the screen !! She's the real deal a mega star
well done, great work on the split screen, gave us a chance to see them together.
It's kind of funny because in the second video the actress spoke much more clearer and without a type of accent that the first one did. You can really tell apart the modernized version just from simple dialect :D
I've always contended that was the whole film in a nut shell: the 'girl' at the beginning and the 'woman' at the end - A-M's character had matured, had discovered what was 'important' (as viewed through the mores of the early 60's) - the love of a good man, as opposed to a 'flash in the pan'. The way she does the number, with a change in attitude and composure reflects the 'growth' she has experienced during the course of the film.
Someone was called a simpleton for being judgmental without having full context so they could declare their own grandiose expertise. It's kind of spot on. IMO all around great job. The way it was shot to keep focus on the singer while stimulating with the colors, so well done
The Patio Diet Cola advert girl's hair doesn't look 60's, rather 2000's. I wonder if they meant to do that?
+Zack Briggs I think so.
That was the first thing I noticed. Not only is her hair wrong, but her makeup and facial shape are also completely wrong for that era. Looks like a 1990s commercial.
Her facial shape? I don't think people's faces looked different not that long ago.
I was thinking the same thing. Ann Margaret's hair looks blow-dried and the remake looks like her hair was flat-ironed.
I think they wanted to change the overall style of an actress to show the difference between original and the cheap copy.
You know I'm pretty sure it would have been easy to do a convincing knock off of the original if they'd wanted to. The 'modern' version was part of an episode where they all hated that version and said themselves that it didn't compare with the original - so I think it was made deliberately (and quite cleverly) to look like a cheap knock off
+Natalie Davenport Teeger triggered
oh yeah, i was wondering what bothered me about the mad men version (the eyebrows, first of all. i'm always bothered by too-thin and modern-looking eyebrows in "period" shows. it does look like a hipster girl with vintage-style makeup and a thrifted dress doing a tribute.
The best line in that Mad Men sequence (not used for this video) was when they were slicing and dicing that ad and when they could not quite figure out what was lacking in that ad, Peggy volunteered her opinion that "it's not Ann Margaret". Classic!!
It was Roger and not Peggy
Peggy thought the problem with the ad was that it spoke to men, yet it's a product for women.
"she's no Ann-Margret"
Patio voice of like sledgehammer in my brain.
Ann Margret wins. What's with the 2nd girls hair? Not very period.
Yes ! Ugh
@@erossore8500 The fit of the dress is also inaccurate. Takes me out of the moment tbh
I always loved watching Mad Men. I liked both Ann Margret and the young woman singing about Patio.
A cheap imitation of "the real thing" (which itself is a fantasy).....the overarching theme of Mad Men throughout the seasons
Also adds to it being a diet ad.
Makes it all the more interesting how in the finale they show the coke ad including the line "It‘s the real thing". Never noticed that connection before.
Bye Bye Birdie was so haunting for me for some reason. Couldn't sleep after listening to that song.
Lmfaooo
The actress in the Patio version did a great job matching actions and mannerisms. She didn't look quite right because her hair and makeup did not really match the era.
In the original Ann Margaret was deliberately singing the song in a whiney grating way to look more juvenile (this is the opening song - and then she matures through the film. She sings her other songs in a much smoother voice
And yet she recorded this AFTER completion of the film.
The greatest show ever.
Dang. I miss that series. I loved seeing the 50's in the work ambient..
MAD MEN doing a superb job in whatever they do, not surprised!
"Baaaahhh byyyyy Birrrrd--HEEEEEE..."
Thumbs up for editing and posting this video.
I actually think that the commercial is really, really good. They should have put it on the air!
They needed to do something about that name "Patio," though. Right up there with "Moland Spring" as far as undrinkable fictional brands go.
It just wasn't Ann Margaret.
@@andrewfusco8580 Actually Patio was the real name. It became Diet Pepsi.
Her voice is like nails on a chalk board
If I saw an advert like that, I'd fancy it
There's a couple reasons why it's off:
1. Ann-Margret's version is indeed a bit shrill, but she has the charm to pull it off. The woman in the commercial is just copying it without understanding it..
2. Ann-Margret is appealing to men, not women, yet the commercial is targeting women.
3. It's too long for a commercial, and to get to the point.
It feels inauthentic. I thought it was meant to show the coldness of perverting something beautiful to sell products.
The original = Love
The commercial = Buy sugar water
Great video thanks for putting this together
You did a great job lining the two clips up! It fell out of sync as it progressed because the two songs are at slightly different tempos (original is slower) I think. Is it just me or is the Patio girl's voice really cringeworthy?
Ann Margaret's voice is cringeworthy.
She's singing...? Just moving would be enough on 1950's TV.
I can’t find the name of the actress that played in the patio video, but she did a great job.
Great job to the uploader. Thanks for posting this.
I think that this was done really well!
Yeah I think everyone who says the modern one sucks is forgetting that it's supposed to suck. They say it's a failure in the episode.
On an unrelated note, I am an actor, and I hate it when people my age (I'm 22) hate the acting in old movies just because it's a different style than modern acting. They can't appreciate it for what it is; hell, I think the acting in a lot of the old classics is much better than today! It's not as, ¨naturalistic" as today's but I think they were much braver with their character choices, they were more charismatic, and they were better at handling all of that great dialogue. You could not do a film like Bye Bye Birdie with today's style; it just wouldn't work.
I actually think that my generation is much less expressive than the previous ones; mostly because of the internet and cell phones. It's much easier to be introverted and small with your expression when you have so much technology; it promotes much more focus on the self rather than the world around you. I think older actors were better listeners; they didn't have as many distractions such as the aforementioned internet and cell phones. Look how a lot of old people greet each other; they have big smiles and say in big, gregarious voices, ¨Hey Bob how ya doing! Long time no see pal! How are the kids?¨ etc. As apposed to the limp, quite, ¨Hey¨ of people my age.
I'm not ripping all modern acting; there are lots and lots and lots of great ones; Michael Shannon, Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Tom Hardy, Elisabeth Moss, and dozens more. There will always be great actors where there are people who love the craft. But I do think that older actors have a special quality that many today lack; maybe it's because films were made with the sole intent of being on the big screen; it wasn't like today where you could get it on dvd or instant download just a few months later. Once you saw it on the big screen, that was it. Unless it came on tv every now and again. I think the acting reflected that. I think people often judge art based off of what they are used to, rather than its own merits.
Chasen Schneider Another reason might be that more often than not actors had stage acting experience, where the need to reach the audience requires a more "reinforced" acting (stronger voice, more body language).
It seems logical that stage acting was carried over, and as TV and movies has grown bigger, the acting style has been adapted to fit the new formats.
Movie and TV-acting on a big screen allows for more "subtle" acting, as camera and sound production reinforce everything. Also, outside factors like camera angles and editing has an effect on mood and tempo. Those factors works differently in stage acting.
These are just my personal observations, I have no experience to back them up but it seems reasonable.
Hdurr burr technology is bad Thomas Edison was a witch
We get it. "YoU'Re aN aCtoR"
Have you realized that no one cares about your opinions now that you're 26 or do you still think you're special?
Her face somehow looks both hot and scary at the same time. It's the lighting or her masculine features or how expressive she is or all three.
If you could get Amy Adams to do a version of this, then you'll have a GIANT commercial worthy of Super half time
God! I miss that show. I can relate starting my working carer at the end of that era. People weren't so anal about everything like now.
There is not a more grating performance in my estimation. Fuck.
As always, Roger nails it: "It's not Ann-Margret." Completely apart from her moves, Ann's face is a master class on micro-expressions: she can shift from heartbreak to teenage lust to saintly devotion in split seconds. She knows how to use it to reel you in and keep your eyes glued. The model is attractive, but she's definitely got a set-and-forget facial expression.
I have been watching some Ann -Margret and a few other actresses from that era and they have look that they are down to F**K without saying anything. Diana Muldaur has the same quality in McCloud.
Funny, I, for one, can't stand Ann-Margret's facial expressions in this, they look very 'artificial', for lack of a better term.
@@andreischapov4474 A matter of taste, I guess. Kristen Wiig's Ann-Margret impression really nails what you're talking about.
1:47 I love that expression when she looks down ☺️☺️☺️
Never noticed it until tonight after like the 30th time watching this video!
What's even better is the at 3:40 when Ann-Margaret looks down - it's like she knows what's going on in the frame underneath her and thinking "this is my song!"
@@Pana79 hahaha, indeed!
Ann Margaret is just gorgeous!
i´ll always prefer peggy´s version
And Sal's. :)
Ruben Berbena that is the horrible version
right. lol
Hers is more sexualized. Of course!
It makes me wanna drink Ann Margret … so I guess it works!
Proof Ann had "It" - you can try and copy her, but those guys at the agency know it's not the same without the real thing. Her charm makes it.
LOL that girl has the fake sweetness of the drink she's supposed to be selling
Peggy says Ann Margret is 25 here. That's wrong. Ann Margret was 21 when she played Kim in Bye Bye Birdie. (Coincidentally, Susan Watson was 21 when originated the role of Kim on Broadway. )
Hollywood has had actors in their twenties playing high schoolers for forever . Look at Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Many of those actors were in their twenties.
This has been going on in movies before Birdie and after Birdie so Peggy is uninformed
Don was right when he said " Men want her. Women want to be like her." That was true, at least back then. Maybe Peggy wanted Eleanor Roosevelt for the ad.
Ann-Margret's voice is actually kind of annoying...?
In the beginning of the movie, she starts off as a childish teenager, so she sings in that really weird voice which you hear here. At the end of the movie, she has "grown" and become a woman, and ends up singing this song again, but in a much more mature and proper voice, a.k.a her real singing voice lol. I hope that explains why she doesn't exactly sound great here.
@@daniellelivingston621 yes I just saw that in another comment I'm glad that you pointed it out again
you never saw the end of Bye Bye Birdie?
Her voice is horrible.
*WOULD HAVE SOLD THE AD WITH SAL IN A SKIRT*
Favorite Mad Men episode.
im perplexed man.
Wow, what's odd is that the lyrics for the commercial seem far more in tune with the melody than the film/musicals'.
It's funny that they have pop in tin cans. Also, Patio cola became Diet Pepsi.
bye bye birdie!
I think the Patio commercial is a little to modern when it comes to the way the actress uses her facial expression. I watch a lot of movies and TV from the 50's and 60's and actor's of that era seem to avoid making little facial movement's to show emotion. There were a few factors as to why, first film actors had a stronger theatrical background in which the body was used more to express emotion, any facial change is broad and held to be noticeable. Second, the Kuleshov effect, was pretty popular and at times misinterpreted by actors. In fact, Gloria Grahame (probably the most infamous misinterpreted of this effect) was obsessed with making her face as still as possible (through plastic surgery) while acting so that the scene could dictate her emotional state for the viewer (you can see her in Oklahoma). When I watch the Patio version I am taken out of the fantasy of watching a commercial from that era because of the more modern (if not bad) acting of the actress cast for Mad Men. And I don't think this is an intentional effect from the directors, I think the actress has not seen much media
from that era.
I show this to my mum she looked at the Patio Diet Cola and she was speechless lol, she prefers original lol
"It's not Ann-Margret"
Thanks for the post. Pretty amazing.
Sal did a good job.
Is it just me or does her voice go straight through anyone els
“bye bye Buuur^heeeh”, not a “D” to be found🥴 🙏 🤐🤐
Gee Bye Bye Birdie trying a commercial for Patio Diet Cola _now Pepsi) but when Ann sang to Bobby the line goes 'One boy to share Coke with." maybe that was what was meant by "it just doesn't feel right." rather than,"It wasn't Ann Margret." what dopes!
The classic "close but no cigar"
nice job on the editing!
cool job on this!
@jordinho13 :Yes, it's true all the points danigrl8484 makes were made in the episode, both the favorite point I'd like to make for those that didn't see the episode would be Roger Sterling's comment which I'll paraphrase:
"(looking around the room) "The problem is....she ain't Ann Margaret..."
What a beautiful and charismatic woman
The Patio version, I think they made it horrible on purpose, without being so blatantly clear. For one, the dress looked tacky as compared to Ann's, her hair was not well prepared, and well... The size factor. Ann was very thin, and yet she had a great figure. The Patio girl was a bit.. rounder in comparison. I think those who made the remake were hitting these points without making it too loud, so that we the viewers would feel like something was missing.
Sterling was right, it's not Ann, and that's why it looked bad.
Mel Rey I can't believe that Pepsi introduced a diet drink named "Patio" but Google never lies....so they changed the name to "Diet Pepsi" a year later. There were originally a buttload of different flavors but only the cola version existed by the mid-seventies.
Her weight isn’t part of the problem
@Gregory Smith _Women were fatter in the 50s and 60s_ Citation?
@Gregory Smith _Marilyn Monroe would be considered "fat" by today's ridiculous beauty standards._
LOL no. themarilynmonroecollection.com/marilyn-monroe-true-size/
Various quotes:
Available documentation verifies Marilyn’s height and weight at several different times during her life, and her first modeling contract verifies her measurements:
August 2, 1945
Blue Book Modeling Agency
*5’ 6”, 120lbs*
36-24-34
“Size 12”
February 8, 1954
DOD ID Card
*5’ 5 1/2”, 118lbs*
August 5, 1962
LA Coroner Medical Report
*5’ 5 1/25”, 117lbs*
While some say Marilyn Monroe was a large “plus sized” woman, her personal clothing items tell a different story. Below are several examples of Marilyn’s clothing worn at varying times in her life, displayed on a size 6-8 dress form, with measurements of 33.5″ (bust), 24.5″ (waist), and 34.5″ (hip). With these images and video clips you can get an idea of her true size. Most important, *even at her heaviest weight in 1959, her waist still measured just 28.5 inches.*
Yes, you read it right, size 14. Marilyn Monroe in fact wore a size 14 blouse, but a 1962 size 14. *Today, Marilyn’s clothing fits very well on a size 6-8 dress form*, and this is where vanity sizing comes into play.
