Marilyn Monroe in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' - 'Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend'

Marilyn Monroe singing "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" in her 20th movie appearance from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" 1953

“I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends.”

Marilyn and the diamonds:

[rinslet]

I can't believe that iconic dress was a last minute addition

[pooopmachine]

I love how she cutely says "No!" before she absolutely kills it with the singing.

[DiegoAlvarezBeltran.]

I'm surprised that she never attempted a singing career. Her voice was exactly what that era was looking for.

[MeMyself]

She was so way ahead of her time. They weren't ready for her then

[liamlivingdummy]

Imagine telling your friends you got smacked in the face by Marilyn Monroe with a fan.

[dillpicklexoxo]

she doesn't need diamonds, diamonds need her, she is the real Diamond here!

3:04 something about the way she acted “expensive jewels” makes me so happy. The sass, the elegance, everything. I can’t stop replaying it

[futorenkin]

Grandma: I starred in a Marilyn Monroe movie once?
Grandchild: What is your role?
Grandma? A sexy human chandelier

[jafarvellines]

Pink fits her so well, she’s beautiful

[Sjp]

Who’s here after Ryan Gosling’s Oscar’s performance?

[redbird]

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

Marilyn Monroe

[laurenjcoates]

That chandelier was pretty bdsm for the 50s

''Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, but fifty cents for your soul''

-Marilyn Monroe

[brandonros]

Her facial expressions are priceless. She's a legend!

[bluepandaman]

This was made in 53.. and 40 years later as a teenager I was obsessed with Marillyn. Now it's been a total of 70 years since this came out - WOW.

[carrotjuse]

Almost 60 years after her untimely death, people are still watching her films eagerly and talking about her. If that doesn't prove she has star quality I don't know what does.

[beautyqxee]

did anybody realized when Marilyn Monroe says no a couple of times her voice sounds like snowwhite from the movie Snowhite and the seven dwarfs?

*[LYRICS]*
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels

A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat

Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't loose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black, Starr, Frost Gorham!
Talk to me Harry Winston
Tell me all about it!

There may come a time
When a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

There may come a time
When a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice

He's your guy
When stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs
That you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes

Time rolls on
And youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend

But stiff back
Or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's

Diamonds! Diamonds!
I don't mean rhinestones!
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[christieintexas]

Marilyn is proof that the prettiest face can sadly hide the most pain.
