MARILYN MONROE - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (FULL FILM 1/11)

Lorelei and Dorothy are just "Two Little Girls from Little Rock", lounge singers on a transatlantic cruise, working their way to Paris, and enjoying the company of any eligible men they might meet along the way, even though "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend." Based on the Broadway musical based on the novel.

NOTE:
When told she was not the star of the film, Marilyn Monroe was quoted: "Well whatever I am, I'm still the blonde."
The ship model shown is the one used previously in Titanic (1953) and was refurbished to resemble the Queen Mary. Some of the ocean liner sets used were also left over from "Titanic".
Judy Holliday turned down the role of Lorelei Lee because she felt no actress other than Carol Channing (who played the part on Broadway) should be cast
