We Changed the Hair Color of 17 Famous Blondes to Prove That Their Beauty and Charm Come From Inside

In 1953, the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was released, and everyone was excited about how beautiful the blonde Marilyn Monroe was. But it’s not hair color that makes you beautiful — Monroe remains pretty even with brown hair, just like the famous blondes whose hair color we changed for the experiment’s sake.
