This sexy thriller was her breakthrough film, where her role of being a dumb blonde that was almost typecast was given a unique twist.

Marilyn's beauty amidst the backdrop of Niagara Falls is truly a breathtaking sight!

2. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

It was in this movie that Marilyn played the role of Lorelei Lee, and where she was nominated for Best Actress in the Golden Globe Award within a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.


Her performance was quite iconic and her dumb blonde character was brought to perfection in this fun musical comedy.

3. Some Like It Hot

A comedy classic and considered as Monroe's biggest hit, where she won Best Actress in the same Golden Globe award she was nominated for in 1953.
