Marilyn Monroe Tops Poll Of Greatest Blondes Of All-Time

Tragic screen star Marilyn Monroe has been voted the greatest blonde of all-time as part of an poll by online market research company OnePoll.com.

Monroe became an icon after her death of an overdose at the pinnacle of her fame in 1962. Long revered one of the most beautiful women of our time, Monroe had relationships with a string of famous men during her life, including playwright Arthur Miller and Tony Curtis.

The legend beat out modern day Golden Girls — including Cameron Diaz, Madonna, and Scarlett Johansson — for the coveted titled, a One Poll spokesperson said Wednesday.

“Marilyn Monroe has always been known for her iconic blonde hair, but it’s amazing to think that even now, almost half a century after her death, she has still beaten modern blondes to the top spot. Her hair is synonymous with 1950s glamour but it has stood the test of time against hair styles and colours which have come and gone over the years.”
