Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Watching Marilyn Monroe in action makes you think, "I see what the world was crazy about." She doesn't have the most beautiful face in the world (if you compare STILL photographs, Jackie O definitely had the upper hand there), but when you see the whole package - and when you see it in motion - there is nothing more seductive or more mesmerizing than Marilyn Monroe. She's magic. It's almost like she's not even a real human being, but just a jar of plain Sex. Admittedly, this can get annoying when you see it put into a personality, like in the acting/dialogue parts of the movie. But when performed in song and dance? The woman is a dream come true. I don't deny the (probably superior) talents or the beauty of Jane Russell, but even she paled next to the classic bombshell, at least in the musical numbers.
