Marilyn Monroe In Some Like It Hot
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most iconic actresses of all time, whose star shines as brightly today as it did at the height of her fame.
This week sees her return to the big screen as Some Like It Hot - one of her most famous movies - is being re-released.
To celebrate the return of this true cinema icon, we take a look at some of her most memorable movie moments.
- The Seven Year Itch: White Dress Subway Moment
The Seven Year Itch was released back in 1955, in what was a decade of great movies for the actress.
However, The Seven Year Itch remains one of her most iconic roles because of one unforgettable moment... of course I am talking about Monroe standing over a subway grate in that white dress.
That billowing dress moment is an iconic one, and has become one of the most enduring images of Monroe over the years.
- Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend Musical Number
Marilyn Monroe graced the big screen in 1953, when she starred alongside Jane Russell in comedy/musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes allowed Monroe to show off her singing skills with a fantastic rendition of Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.
Not only is that one of the most recognised film musical numbers of all time, but that pink dress in which she performed is another of her most memorable costumes.
- How To Marry A Millionaire: Girls Who Wear Glasses Scene
How To Marry A Millionaire was another great movie that Monroe starred in during the fifties - it was released back in 1953.
This was another comedy role where Monroe just shone, as she starred alongside Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall.
The Girl Who Wear Glasses scene is another moment of Monroe being at her comedic and innocent best. I think she looks fantastic in a pair of specs!!!
- Seven Year Itch: Chopsticks
We return to the Seven Year Itch for another great musical number from Monroe.
This time around, Monroe teams up with co-star Tom Ewell to play chopsticks on the piano.
- Some Like It Hot: Jello On Springs
Seeing as Some Like It Hot is being re-released this week, we couldn't not have a scene from the film on the countdown.
The movie sees Monroe star alongside Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis - who are pretending to be women to avoid the mod.
While Lemmon and Curtis are struggling to walk in their high heels in this scene, Monroe shows them just how it is done.
Some Like It Hot is re-released on 18th July.
