Fact – 18
Marilyn's love affair with high heels was not only a matter of taste but also a fundamental component of her well-known walk and whole image. Her characteristic wiggle walk—which became legendary—was created by notoriously having one heel slightly trimmed down a quarter of an inch shorter than the other. Salvatore Ferragamo, her chosen shoe designer, considered her particular needs and made special pairs including four-inch heels. Though she loved stiletto in nude tones that extended her legs especially, the collection had many types. Fascinatingly, she would spend hours walking in her heels, honing her posture and pace. Her on-screen image and public appearances were much enhanced by her commitment to perfect her walk in high heels. Living by this belief, she once said that a woman's whole attitude could be changed with the correct pair of shoes. Her large assortment of high heels, many of which have been kept and on show in museums, reflects not only fashion but also tools of her trade as a performer.
