This definition makes it clear why Marilyn Monroe was called “the Blond Bombshell.” Although other “bombshells” have come and gone since her glory days in the 50s and 60s, she still holds a special place in America’s heart — as a glamorous actor, comedian, singer, and sex symbol. Marilyn Monroe photos are highly collectible, and posters and prints of the Blonde Bombshell are still top sellers. Recently, a 47-minute candid segment of film shot on the set of “The Misfits” sold at auction for $60,000.
