Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is an infectious disease that belongs to a group of diseases known as the spotted fever group rickettsioses. It is caused by infection with the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii (R. rickettsii), which is usually transmitted by a tick bite.
Marilyn Monroeâs size was measured by one of her dress makers and released as 5â5â tall, 35â bust, 22â waist, and 35â hips. Her bra size was 36D. During Marilynâs time, her waist was about 2-3 inches smaller than the average woman in America and by todayâs average she was 12 inches smaller.
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.
