Blondes Have More Fun

Blondes Are Sexier and Have More Fun is what they say. Who are they? Good question. It most assuredly can be tracked back to Hollywood and their publicity department. Thinking back to the long era of the platinum blondes.

Blondes Are Sexier and Have More Fun
Blondes are sexier and definitely have more fun! Yes indeed -- this is what we think! Speaking from personal experience and of course very deep humility, I offer up the premise that blondes are indeed sexier and definitely for sure blondes have more fun! I am a blonde and I am boldly humble as well.

Only my hairdresser knows for sure whether all those platinum hairs are naturally sprouting from my noggin or come from a bottle of Miss Clairol. And, whether I am having more fun. Hey, I'm a blonde after all. Yes, being a blonde is definitely fun. You also get to have some of the cutest blonde jokes to laugh at.

Blonde Bombshell Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot made her mark in films as a bewitching French actress and a sex kitten. She established herself as a bit of a legend, being known as simply Bardot or BB. In addition to being an actress, she was a ballet dancer, fashion model, and singer.

blonde bombshell Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot
When she retired from acting, Brigitte Bardot took on the role of an activist for animal rights. Throughout her career, one could say she has at times been a bit controversial.

I have been a huge fan of Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot for years. She is someone who is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I applaud her for her work for animal rights.

Such a beautiful person! The captivatingly beautiful and sexy French actress who transcended film.

Say hello to Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot known not so simply as Brigitte Bardot or JUST Bardot! Say hello to Brigitte Bardot : Ah, BB!

Brigitte Anne Marie Bardot FAQs
  • Did you know that Brigitte Bardot is credited with popularizing the bikini swimwear in her early films as well as in Cannes!
  • She made it quite fashionable to wear the choucroute hairstyle — that beehive!
  • Like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, Andy Warhol used her as a subject of his paintings.
  • She popularized the city of St. Tropez.
  • John Lennon and Paul McCartney idolized Bardot and wanted to shoot a film featuring The Beatles and Bardot; although it never was filmed.
  • Bob Dylan dedicated the first song he ever wrote to Bardot.
  • In 1970, the sculptor Alain Gourdon used Brigitte Bardot as the model for a bust of Marianne, the French national emblem.

Is Brigitte Bardot the sexiest blonde actress?

  • Brigitte Bardot
  • Carroll Baker
  • Jean Harlow
  • Joey Heatherton
  • Jayne Mansfield
  • Marilyn Monroe
  • Mamie Van Doren

Personally? I am a Fan of BB! I hope you enjoyed this fan page on Brigitte Bardot. Since I was quite young, I became a fan of this sultry actress. She had a sophistication about her that was quite appealing; perhaps because of her French heritage. I’ve always admired her love and work with animals. Such a beautiful person and humanitarian. She was an actress who was much more than what you saw on the big screen.

Blonde Bombshell Carroll Baker

Carroll Baker was a movie sex symbol, but more importantly, she was a serious dramatic actress! To me, Carroll Baker delivered many compelling performances in her prolific movie career.

blonde bombshell carroll baker
In the 1950s and into the 1960s, when talking about blondes and sex symbols in the movies, there was not only Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, Joey Heatherton ... but there was also Carroll Baker!

What you may not know about the talented and beautiful actress Carroll Baker is that she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1725 Vine Street.

She has also written three books: Baby Doll, An Autobiography, published in 1983, and A Roman Tale and To Africa, With Love, both published in 1985.

Carroll Baker was a movie sex symbol, but more importantly, Carroll Baker was a serious dramatic actress. Let's check her out!

An interesting title for her autobiography; i.e. Baby Doll: An Autobiography. If you take a moment to read some of the poignant reviews, you get a good insight into the life she has led. Perhaps she was born too soon?

Did you know this about Carroll Baker? Carroll Baker’s flashy portrayal of a Jean Harlow-type movie star in the 1964 hit The Carpetbaggers brought her a second wave of notoriety and marked the beginning of a tumultuous relationship with the film’s producer, Joseph E. Levine.

Based on her Carpetbaggers performance, Levine began to position Baker to be a movies sex symbol, casting her in the title roles of two 1965 potboilers, Sylvia and Harlow.

Blonde Bombshell Jean Harlow

The original "Platinum Blonde" sex symbol and American film actress! Say hello to Jean Harlow! Who is/was Jean Harlow? This blonde bombshell surely set the stage for blondes as a sex symbol.

blonde bombshell jean harlow
Harlow was a bit of a trailblazer in the debate that blondes are sexier and have more fun!

Why this post? Well, I've written other posts on blonde "sex symbols" such as Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, Joey Heatherton, and Carroll Baker [who played in the Harlow movie about her life].

You can't talk about the blonde bombshells and sex symbols of the 1950s, 1960s or today without mentioning the one and only, original "platinum blonde," Jean Harlow.

I loved what I saw of Jean Harlow through her films. She was feisty, opinionated, and an original who died at much too early an age.

If you know nothing about this American film actress and blonde sex symbol, you owe it to yourself to read one of her books or see one of her movies! There are several excellent books and movies below to pick from!

She was original, the only and only "Platinum Blonde!"

Blonde Bombshell Joey Heatherton

Talking about blonde bombshells, I probably identified the most with Joey Heatherton. She was one of THE original blonde sex kittens. And, I got to watch her on TV.

Blonde Bombshell Joey Heatherton
Joey Heatherton was at the top of her professional popularity in the 1960s. In the 1950s and 1960s, you had "sex symbols" and then you had "sex kittens" the likes of Ann-Margret and Joey Heatherton.

To me, Joey was THE blonde "sex kitten" who was multi-talented in that she could sing, dance, act and entertain! She was quite the package.

Joey Heatherton is in the group, blondes are sexier and have more fun! You know?

Oh, did I also tell you that we [me and her] had something in common? Well, surely you have heard about doppelgangers yes? Ah, I had so many people telling me that Joey was my doppelganger ... well at least HER hair and hair style ... that was THE doppelganger. How about that : doppelganger hair styles! Oh my.

Photo Credit: The original Joey Heatherton from Wikimedia Commons.

I'm thinking that Joey Heatherton was a one-of-a-kind classy star! She was sexy, but approachable. And, she was a smart gal with talent! Oh, did I mention she was a blonde who reportedly was sexier and had more fun than the average gal performer! It was refreshing to see that she had the confidence to appear in movies in her later years.

She Made the Cover of Playboy Magazine and was showing a lot of class in April 1997. It will be a collector's edition some day. Joey Heatherton shows a lot of class and doesn't reveal too much physically.

She was an amazingly entertaining “sex kitten” who had the coolest “shag” hairstyle!

Her father was the vaudevillian and television pioneer Ray Heatherton (1909 – 1997).

She appeared numerous times on The Perry Como Show, Dean Martin Presents the Golddiggers, The Andy Williams Show, The Hollywood Palace, The Ed Sullivan Show and This Is Tom Jones.

This is Joey by Leslie Raddatz - Reprinted from TV Guide Magazine, August 31, 1963:
This is the assignment on Joey Heatherton. I sorta figured Joey was probably a comic like Joey Bishop, but actually Joey isn't like him at all. In fact, Joey isn't even a comic.

Of course, Joey's short like Bishop - 5 feet-3 - but, where Joey Bishop has dark hair and brown eyes, She has blonde hair and blue eyes - much bigger eyes than Bishop's. The general build and physical appearance are also quite different. Joey Bishop is what I would describe as wiry, which is not the way I would describe her.

blonde bombshell joey heatherton 1963
Joey was born in New York on Sept. 14, 1944, the daughter of Ray Heatherton, a former musical comedy star, who until recently was The Merry Mailman on WPIX. [A New York City independent TV station.] Her mother was a dancer in the Broadway production of "Babes in Arms," in which Ray Heatherton appeared, and that is where they met.

With that background, it is only natural that Joey would turn to what we in the trade call show biz. She got her start in "The Sound of Music" when she was only 15 years old and has been in a number of Broadway plays since.

She has also done a lot of television - The Perry Como Show, The Nurses, The U.S. Steel Hour, The Virginian and Route 66. She recently completed her first motion picture, "Twilight of Honor," which is also the first starring vehicle for Richard Chamberlain - Dr. Kildare.

For a young lady who was graduated from high school only a year ago, that is an impressive list of credits. But actually Joey didn't get to her own graduation; she was appearing in summer stock in Buffalo at the time. This fall she is planning to take courses in English literature and psychology at Long Island University - between commuting to Hollywood for TV and motion picture roles.

Joey's interests are those of any teenager. But despite the fact that she swims, skates and rides horseback she is not muscular; and all the hot dogs, pastrami and gooey sundaes she eats have not made her fat, although she is, you might say, rounded. Nothing like Joey Bishop at all. ###

blonde bombshell joey heatherton 1966
Heavenly Body Entering Orbit, by Gerald Astor - Reprinted from Look Magazine, February 8, 1966:
She sings some, acts too. But her body lifted Davenie Johanna Heatherton up from the ruck. Beyond these tangible virtues, what has given Joey Heatherton orbital velocity is the way she moves that torso.

When TV's Hullabaloo went on the air for the first time, Joey made a guest appearance. Although the show brought grunts of wrath from the critics, Joey's dance hiked temperatures and eyebrows. The talk about the dance helped the program survive. Bob Hope made the troops laugh when he visited the Dominican Republic and Vietnam; they howled when Joey danced.

She could have been born and raised in a trunk, since mother Davenie and father Ray met as performers in a Broadway musical. However, Joey was brought up in a prim Long Island suburb of New York. She started ballet school at six, studied four years with George Balanchine, put in a year on modern-jazz dance and went on to voice and dramatics. Richard Rodgers, "the wall-to-all carpeting of show business," says Joey, gave her the first big break with a part in The Sound of Music.

After the Broadway turn came some TV dramas and film flops. Something about Joey's sexy-kid look earned her roles as a teener in trouble. She now rejects such parts: "No more pregnant ingenues for me."

Also off her list for the present are marriage and the white picket fence. "I'm not interested in marriage now. We've got a picket fence home, and it doesn't interest me." Keeping suburbia and show biz in harmony poses problems. Townsfolk don't realize their contagious colds and late hours ruin performances. She laughs at silly tales of her smoking pot and doing a strip in a bar. Father Ray tells her, "You don't have to be a kook."

Choreographer Jaime Rogers thinks Joey's "tremendous vitality and her energy make her very sensual. She gets her motor going, and it just flows out naturally." Some critics of the free-flowing body have labeled her dancing "sleazy eroticism." Joey shrugs off the hullabaloo over Hullabaloo as the result of unfortunate camera angles. She offers no apologies for her style and writes off bad reviews as symptoms of confused minds.

For a girl with a fiery reputation, she lives in a remarkably temperate climate. Her home continues to be with mother, father, brother and dog, Mr. Didums, in Rockville Centre. She relaxes by riding and swimming, sometimes bursts out with clothes-buying orgies.

"Somebody takes care of the money, I draw what I need." Her mother accompanies 21-year-old Joey on most road trips, and she dates rarely. "It's too much of a drag to come all the way back from Manhattan on the train with the drunks." ###

Blonde Bombshell Jayne Mansfield

A too hot to handle brainy blonde bombshell. Jayne Mansfield was one of a kind! Definitely one of my all-time favorites, that was Jayne Mansfield. She was an American actress, Playboy centerfold and sex symbol.

blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield
During the 1950s, Jayne Mansfield was a leading sex symbol. In February 1955, she was the Playmate of the Month in Playboy. She would appear in the magazine several more times over the years.

Jayne Mansfield starred in several popular Hollywood films that emphasized her platinum-blonde hair, dramatic hourglass figure and cleavage-revealing costumes. Jayne Mansfield, in her heydey, she competed with Marilyn Monroe and Mamie Van Doren. Oh, and do you know that Jayne Mansfield is one of my doppelgangers?

A too hot to handle brainy blonde bombshell ** that was Jayne Mansfield ! Yes, Jayne Mansfield put the WOW in WOW, you know?

People today remember Jayne Mansfield as a famous Hollywood movie star. However, she starred in only three American movies before moving to low-budget European films.

She was a master of publicity who appeared in newspapers across the nation almost daily. The media focused on her figure and her stormy love life. Through her constant exposure in the press, she gave the public the false impression that she was a major movie star.

This book charts the captivating life and career of Jayne Mansfield. A biography overviews her rise to fame, her three marriages and five children, and her death in a grisly automobile accident at an early age. The chapters that follow are each devoted to her performances in a particular genre, such as film, stage, and television.

Each chapter contains annotated entries for her work in that media, providing cast and credit listings, plot summaries, review excerpts, and commentary. Appendices list her appearances on magazine and record covers, and an annotated bibliography discusses additional sources of information.

Jayne Mansfield: A Bio-Bibliography (Bio-Bibliographies in the Performing Arts) by Jocelyn Faris. About the Author: She holds college degrees in history, business administration, music, and electronics engineering technology.

On June 29, 1967, Jayne was riding in front with Ronnie Harrison and lawyer Sam Brody on the way from a Mississippi nightclub engagement. Her children, Mickey Jr., Zoltan and Mariska sat in the back. As they rounded a curve on a dark stretch of road, the car slammed into a slowed semi. Though the children survived with minor injuries, everyone sitting in the front was killed instantly.

The world was stunned. Jayne's personality was so vibrant, her career so vivacious, that it was impossible to believe she was gone. At 34, she had already earned a special place in the hearts of millions, and with her death came a deep void that will never be filled.

Jayne was laid to rest in Fairview Cemetary in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania. There is also a centograph dedicated to her in the Hollywood Forever Memorial Park in Hollywood, California. --Jayne Mansfield Biography.

Although she was unwilling to appear in the play, she received the Theatre World Award of 1956 for her performance in the Broadway production of George Axelrod's comedy Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?.

Mansfield won a Golden Globe in 1957 for Most Promising Newcomer - Female, as well as a Golden Laurel in 1959 for Top Female Musical Performance for her role in The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw, a western spoof directed by Raoul Walsh.

I was always fascinated by the wealth of beauty and talent and smarts of Jayne Mansfield. How about you?

Blonde Bombshell Mamie Van Doren

A blonde bombshell from the era of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield that is Mamie Van Doren! Something about Mamie Van Doren that I didn't know, is that she was often referred to as the poor man's Lana Turner! I'm not sure where that came from.

blonde bombshell mamie van doren
This platinum blonde bombshell was of the era of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield.

A former dance-band singer, she's best remembered for a series of showy roles in cheap 1950s melodramas that emphasized her physical endowments rather than her somewhat meager dramatic abilities.

Mamie Van Doren dropped out of Hollywood altogether in the late 1960s, concentrating on a jet-set lifestyle, being seen often in the company of celebrities and athletes, such as quarterback Joe Namath!

She made a brief comeback in the 1980s. As one of the few surviving sex symbols of that era, she's become something of a pop culture queen in recent years, hosting B-movie festivals, making personal appearances, and the like. How cool is that?

Photo Credit: The Beautiful and Ethereal Mamie Van Doren.

On January 20, 1953, Van Doren signed a contract with Universal Studios. The studio had big plans for her, hoping she would bring the same kind of success that 20th Century Fox had with Marilyn Monroe, the reigning sex symbol of the era.

Van Doren, whose signing day coincided with the inauguration of President Eisenhower, was given the first name Mamie for Ike's wife, Mamie Eisenhower, and the last name Van Doren as a good-natured dig at fellow blonde and buxom star Jayne Mansfield, who claimed to possess the genius-caliber IQ of 163.

A prominent and noted family of American intellectuals, the Van Dorens included two Pulitzer Prize winning brothers, Carl (biographer) and Mark (poet), and Mark's wife Dorothy, an academic and historian.

Ironically, in 1957 Mark and Dorothy's son Charles Van Doren made front page news both by winning $129,000 on a television game show, then admitting the program was rigged. The publicity around this scandal kept the name 'Van Doren' in the newspapers and tabloids. --Wikipedia

Check out one of Mamie Van Doren movies. What's cool about many of these is that Marilyn Monroe and other "sex symbols" of the time also appear in these along with Mamie Van Doren.

Blonde Bombshell Zsa Zsa Gabor

Celebrating one of the blondes that DIY! It's the indomitable Hungarian actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor who lived an impressive 99 years! Writing a page on Zsa Zsa Gabor was a natural for me as I have several other lenses with a Hungarian flavor and more pages with the Eastern European flavor.

blonde bombshell zsa zsa gabor
So, why not profile one of the more well-known actresses and socialites that was born in Budapest, Hungary! Say hello to the former Hungarian hottie, Zsa Zsa Gabor. This is one actress who has had more than one fifteen minutes of fame!

Wow -- Zsa Zsa Gabor -- That Hungarian actress and socialite! In her time, she was a curvaceous hottie with an accent and an attitude! You know, my cousin Mary Ann has actually called me "Zsa Zsa" from time to time. While I'm not as old as Zsa Zsa, I think this is meant to be a compliment. Might as well write a page on her, right?

Check out the photo gallery on this blonde bombshell.

Zsa Zsa Gabor in a Nutshell
Hungarian-born American actress and socialite! Zsa Zsa Gabor was born Sári Gábor on February 6, 1917 and died on December 18, 2016 in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California. Zsa Zsa began her stage career at 15 in Vienna, Austria. In 1936, she was crowned Miss Hungary. She emigrated to the United States in 1941. Soon her acting career began to flourish and she became a sought-after actress. She was recognized for her "European flair and style" along with a personality that was often said to "exuded charm and grace."

blonde bombshell zsa zsa gabor
Her first movie role was as supporting actress in "Lovely to Look At." She later acted in "We're Not Married!" and played one of her few leading roles in 1952's "Moulin Rouge." The famous director John Huston described her as a "creditable" actress.

Although Zsa Zsa Gabor made many film and television appearances, she is probably better known for having nine husbands, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton and actor George Sanders.

Learn more about the curvaceous Zsa Zsa Gabor on her famous Wikipedia listing! Photo Credit: Zsa Zsa Gabor publicity photo from Wikimedia Commons.

Zsa Zsa Gábor was the second of three daughters.  She was born Sári Gábor in Budapest, daughter of Jolie Gabor (née Tilleman), a manager, and Vilmos Gábor, a soldier.

blonde bombshell zsa zsa gabor 1959
She had two sisters, Magda and Éva, actresses and socialites.  Gabor's mother was born Jewish and was related to Annette Tillemann, the wife of politician Tom Lantos.  Gabor was named after the then top Hungarian actress Sári Fedák, also called Zsa Zsa because her daughter couldn't pronounce the name Sári.

I think this bit of info is truly amazing! Zsa Zsa Gabor has been married nine times. She was divorced seven times, and one marriage was annulled. Her husbands, in chronological order, are:

Burhan Belge (1937 - 1941) (divorced)
Conrad Hilton (10 April 1942 - 1947) (divorced)
George Sanders (2 April 1949 - 2 April 1954) (divorced)
Herbert Hutner (5 November 1962 - 3 March 1966) (divorced)
Joshua S. Cosden, Jr. (9 March 1966 - 18 October 1967) (divorced)
Jack Ryan (21 January 1975 - 1976) (divorced)
Michael O'Hara (27 August 1976 - 1982) (divorced)
Felipe de Alba (13 April 1983 - 14 April 1983) (annulled)
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt (from 14 August 1986. Her longest-running marriage)
