Marilyn Monroe is the quintessential blonde bombshell.

In her short thirty-six years she was in over 30 movies and married to three men, James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller; she was also linked to John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.

Monroe's chick flicks include All About Eve with Bette Davis, The Seven Year Itch the famous scene in the white halter dress blowing up, Some Like it Hot with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in drag, and many more.

Even after her death she can't rest in peace. Marilyn Monroe is laid to rest in a crypt in Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California, and above her Elsie Poncher is trying to sell her husband's crypt. Poncher plans to move him next to her reserved crypt. In August, Poncher auctioned the crypt on eBay an unknown bidder purchased it for $4.6 million. When the bid fell through Poncher listed it again for $500,000, and that also failed. In 1992 the crypt next to Monroe was purchased for $75,000 by Hugh Hefner.
