Marilyn Monroe has been voted the greatest blonde of all time beating such famous beauties as Cameron Diaz, Madonna or Scarlett Johansson.

The second best was actress Grace Kelly, French beauty Brigitte Bardot was third, while Cameron Diaz came fourth.

A Clairol Nice ’n Easy – the company which commissioned One Poll to conduct the survey – representative said: “Marilyn Monroe has always been known for her iconic blonde hair.

“But it’s amazing to think that even now, almost half a century after her death, she has still beaten modern blondes to the top spot.
