There are many films that feature Marilyn Monroe, but some of her most famous include:
- Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953): A musical comedy in which Monroe plays Lorelei Lee, a gold-digging showgirl who travels to Paris with her best friend (Jane Russell) to find a wealthy husband.
- How to Marry a Millionaire (1953): Another musical comedy, in which Monroe plays Pola Debevoise, one of three models who scheme to marry millionaires.
- The Seven Year Itch (1955): A romantic comedy in which Monroe plays The Girl, the object of Richard Sherman’s (Tom Ewell’s) fantasies. The film’s iconic scene of Monroe’s white dress billowing up from a subway grate is one of the most famous images in cinema history.
- Bus Stop (1956): A romantic comedy-drama in which Monroe plays Chérie, a saloon singer who is taken hostage by a cowboy (Don Murray) on a bus trip.
- Some Like It Hot (1959): A classic comedy in which Monroe plays Sugar Kane Kowalczyk, a singer who joins two musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) disguised as women to escape from gangsters.
Monroe’s last completed film was The Misfits (1961), a drama directed by John Huston and co-starring Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, and Eli Wallach. The film was a critical and commercial failure at the time, but has since been reevaluated as one of Monroe’s best performances.
In recent years, there have been several films made about Monroe’s life and career, including My Week with Marilyn (2011) and Blonde (2022).
