Born 100 years ago on this day, Marilyn Monroe remains one of Hollywood’s most fascinating, electrifying yet tragically elusive movie goddesses. TCM’s weekly tribute on Mondays in June opens with the 1953 musical comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which saw her teamed with Jane Russell playing showgirls aboard a cruise ship. As blithely gold-digging Lorelei Lee, Monroe’s rendition of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” is one for the ages, inspiring Madonna‘s “Material Girl” video three decades later. The lineup continues with 1953’s How to Marry a Millionaire (9:45/8:45c) opposite Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall, and a smaller supporting role in the 1952 Cary Grant comedy Monkey Business (11:30/10:30c).
