Five Of The Best: Marilyn Monroe Songs

Marilyn Monroe would have turned 100 years old yesterday… Imagine! A whole century of MM.I think she’d have been a brilliant old lady, laughing at how far she’d come. Sadly, she passed away at thirty six.

Her legacy remains though, she’s still adored to this day: a reminder of the real triple threat performers of Hollywood’s golden era. Acting, singing and dancing, AND those luminous looks… What’s not to like?

Here are five of her best numbers – in no particular order. Eyes down for innuendo bingo…

.

Songs are from:

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

River Of No Return

Some Like It Hot

Let’s Make Love

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (again, but this one’s a duet with Jane Russell)
