Cold Sore Triggers. While symptoms are not usually present with an initial infection, certain factors may trigger later outbreaks of a cold sore. These can include exposure to sunlight or other UV light, the common cold or flu, hormonal changes, and emotional stress.
It was said that Marilyn was an occasional smoker. Although, looking at some of these rare photos it appears the habit was more than occasional. The first time Marilyn was seen sporting a cigarette on screen was in Right Cross (1950), though in her very first screen test she lit and put out a cigarette. She appeared on at least one magazine cover smoking a cigarette, and she is smoking in bed in the opening scene of Niagara (1953).
Itâs a tricky question, because while Monroe certainly was not overweight, she wasnât necessarily healthy either, at least based on the reports of her diet and relationship with food. Like many women, Monroe's weight and measurements fluctuated. At either weight (118 and 140), her body mass index (BMI) would fall within the normal range from 19.3 (on the low end) and 22.9 (at the high end) so even at her heaviest, Marilyn was by no means overweight.
