Blonde symbolises sexuality and power - it holds very different connotations. The archetypal star has always been blonde.

It's so nice after 10 years as a blond actress in Hollywood to have people let you do smart things.

Marilyn Monroe and Vivienne Leigh are real icons of mine. In terms of visual culture, they are both so iconic. There weren't any paparazzi shots of them falling out of taxis, so they will always look so incredible.

I think Princess Diana probably had the most famous haircut, or Farrah Fawcett or Jennifer Aniston.

I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?

I'm kind of fixated with old Hollywood, like Marilyn Monroe.

I long for the old days of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, stars who had real glamour and mystique. We only knew so much about their lives; the rest was a mystery.

I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such, which probably explains why, since the end of my marriage, I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.
