An icon for sure... but could she make iconic stuffing? 

Marilyn Monroe’s Thanksgiving Stuffing

Slice bread loaf in half and soak in a large bowl of cold water for 15 minutes. Wring out excess water over a colander, then tear into pieces.

Boil giblets in salted water for 8 minutes, then chop finely.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through, breaking meat apart as it cooks.

In a large bowl, combine the bread, giblets, beef, celery, onion, parsley, eggs, raisins, Parmesan, and nuts, and toss gently to combine.

Whisk together rosemary, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper, and scatter over the stuffing, tossing once again.

Chill, covered, until read to bake. If not stuffing a bird, transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350°F until top is browned, about 1 hour.
