Flashing back to 1953, we all remember the iconic scene of Marilyn Monroe singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. “My favorite scene in all of Monroe’s movies is when she does that dance sequence for ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.’ And when it came time to do the video for the song [Material Girl], I said, I can just redo that whole scene and it will be perfect,” Madonna said in 1987 to the New York Daily News. “Marilyn was made into something not human in a way, and I can relate to that. Her sexuality was something everyone was obsessed with and that I can relate to. There were certain things about her vulnerability that I’m curious about and attracted to.” Madonna was a fan of Marilyn Monroe and, in 1985, Madonna paid homage to Marilyn Monroe’s 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in her “Material Girl” music video. Here is Madonna paying homage to Marilyn Monroe in the music video for the second single from her icon album Like A Virgin.
