Marilyn owned many pets in her lifetime, most of which were dogs. Here we take a look back at Monroe's canine companions. Tippy was a black and white dog given to Norma Jeane by her foster father, Albert Wayne Bolendar. Every day, Tippy would go to school with Norma Jeane.
After Marilyn's death, Maf was adopted by Sinatra's secretary, Gloria Lovell. Maf was run over by a car and did not outlive Marilyn for long. A tragic sad end for a sweet little dog and his owner.

As for her dinner? “Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots…

Well, you'd be surprised to find out the bombshell's diet was nothing like that of Hollywood actresses today. No raw juice diets or special meals delivered. Marilyn ate plenty of meat and vegetables and was fond of raw eggs.
Unfortunately, their time together was short-lived due to Marilyn's premature death in 1962. Maf was given to Gloria Lovell, Sinatra's secretary, and later tragically died when he was run over by a car.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but Marilyn Monroe's favorite fragrance costs much less. The star famously swore by a spritz of Chanel No. 5, a scent that's proven almost just as iconic as the actress herself.
Her exercise routine

"I like animals," Monroe once revealed to reporters. "If you talk to a dog or a cat, it doesn't tell you to shut up." The actress cared for many pets throughout her life, including a Spaniel named Ruffles, a Basset Hound named Hugo, and Mitsou, a white Persian cat.
Riding bicycles, walking, and romps on the beach were other favorite activities Marilyn did to stay in shape. She confessed to a 1952 LIFE interviewer that she worked out 10 minutes every morning with small weights.
Sinatra did indeed give Marilyn a Maltese terrier near the end of her life, a dog she rather wickedly named Mafia, or Maf for short (some claim the dog's full name was Mafia Honey).

Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor shaved their faces, according to Ms. Somerville, who said that an aesthetician who worked with them told her. She declined to reveal which of her celebrity clients shave their faces, but said that she recommends it widely and that many comply.
Lawford says that in "slurred" speech Monroe told him she was "tired and would not be coming" to dinner. Then, as her voice became less audible, she told him, "Say goodbye to Pat. Say goodbye to Jack [President Kennedy]. And say goodbye to yourself, because you're a nice guy."
Her evening skincare routine began with an oil cleanse, using the Erno Laszlo Active Phelityl Oil, then she applied the Active Phelityl Cream and washed it off. She finished with the Controlling Lotion. All of these products are still available today.
