Marilyn Monroe: Her comedic timing led to her being cast in movies such as The Seven Year Itch and Some Like it Hot. With her breathy voice and hourglass figure, she was the ultimate blonde bombshell. Aishwarya Rai: Model, beauty pageant queen and movie star, Rai has been described as the most beautiful woman on the planet.
