9 Celebrities Who Have Emulated the Iconic Marilyn Monroe (Happy Belated Birthday, Ms. Monroe!)

Five decades following her death, Marilyn Monroe is still killing them.  The blonde hair, red lips, and those hips have inspired many, including most of today’s pop stars and famous young actresses. The hit TV show, Smash, is based on her glamorous life cut short by tragedy.  The icon—who would’ve turned 86-years-old last week Friday on the 1st of June—possessed a beauty, charm and presence that still lingers in 2012; due in part to these celebrity emulations.  Many can dispute what she stood for, but no one can deny her influence.  It is  proof that she is irreplaceable.

But check out 9 stars imitating the fashion and movie icon as a form of flattery.

    Janet did not channel Marilyn Monroe in her 24play video. She was channeling Dorothy Dandridge.

    Where’s Lola Monroe? She’s said she’s inspired by her style plenty of times and it shows. Also just because you dye your hair blond doesn’t mean you meant to channel her. She wasn’t even a natural blond herself.

    I don’t understand how they failed to include Lola MONROE in this post?! Maybe because she isn’t an A lister yet, but she looks just like Marilyn Monroe AND she is actually more relevant than a couple of these A listers they included# IJS

    Where’s Anna Nicole Smith?!

  • Bianca

    I don’t know about this.

    I agree with 808 — Janet was channeling Dorothy Dandrige which that was a good video. Somebody did not do enough research. . . So, yeah where is Anna Nicole Smith in this article because she was totally obsessed with Marilyn!? Did the author forgot to include the actresses from NBC’s drama series, SMASH — Katherine McPheal, Uma Thurman and Megan Hilty? And don’t forget about Michelle Williams portraying as Marilyn in “My Week In With Marilyn”.. Judging by these photos in this article some celeb’s poses and lighting is horrible! Lindsay’s photo appears to be sixty-years-old. Ugh!
