they made her arch her back backwards to keep her spine from sticking out a lot back then. you can see how deep her spine area sinks in:

rare footage of her spine in motion (not the thumbnail, obviously), too bad there isn't a better quality version of this footage
oh wow, I didn't know Marilyn Monroe ever looked so thin, you could see her hip bones, ribs, and shoulder blades there. seeing her bones moving around is just...

People usually say she lost a lot of weight in 1960s and that's when she overall looked thinner, but apparently she was naturally quite thin, she just had a gall bladder condition in the 50s.
Ironically, this was from the period when she was curvier so her spine was always lean:

This was an outtake from Misfits. They avoided showing her mid/lower spine in that position, sadly...
outtake from the same movie where they tried a take with her lower back purposely covered to hide her lower spine bones, but you can still see some of the middle bumps on her spine bulging out:

a bit of her upper spine showing even though the photographer tried hard to shine a bright light on the boniest part of her upper back:

a nice pic showing how lean her back was:

these last ones were outtakes from a photoshoot that they felt she looked too skinny in. the second shows some mid-spine and the last one shows a little of her spine where it's cropped:

i made some looping gifs of her back from the Something's Got To Give outtakes:

(the thumbnails dont animate)
animated GIF where you can see the bottom bumps on her spine moving around a bit:

some pics of how lean her back was:

Her lean back in motion (in the gif, not the thumbnail) - you can see her spine a little in the shadow where her back muscles spread out and show her spine a little even in this position

Some other rare pics of her showing a bit of spine

Her lean lower back:

Highest quality version I found of this pic showing a few bottom vertebrae looking wet:

(The director noticed her spine on set, she had to bend backward like this the whole time trying to hide the boniest part.)
Her lower spine bumps show a little in this angle from the same movie too:

Very subtle lower spine from a candid pic:
