Now a full-fledged star, Monroe was cast in one of her defining roles: Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. As directed by Howard Hawks and choreographed by Jack Cole, Monroe and Jane Russell shone in both the comedic and the musical sequences. With “Diamonds Are a GIrl’s Best Friend,” Monroe moved from star to icon. Fox quickly put her in another high-profile role in the CinemaScope comedy How to Marry a Millionaire, and again she proved herself a deft performer as well as a magnetic screen presence. She closed out the triumphant year of 1953 with her only “dramatic” television appearance, in a sketch on The Jack Benny Program. |
