Today is the birthday of the legendary Marilyn Monroe, the day when she would have turned 85 (watch a clip of her singing happy birthday to a popular president). In honor of this iconic sex symbol (see photos), we take a look at the most glamorous and seductively beautiful silver screen sirens of the 20th century, along with their dazzling films and fiery love affairs.

Jayne, Marilyn and so many of that generation represented an era when women knew how to take care of a man, and men knew how to treat a woman.

I'd like to hear from our sisters out there. What men from that generation did it for you? Who represented the best in men, thier strengths, ideals and/or style?

Thanks for that chuckle to begin the day.

"Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House". But my favorite was "Gunga Din". Great cast- Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr and Sam Jaffe as Gunga Din....

Like Marilyn banging Jackie's husband Jack!

From one of our sisters, a (PM).

In the 40s-50s-60s etc.. kids could enjoy their neighborhoods, I don't think that happens on a large scale today. Women like Marilyn and Jayne were sexy- not slutty,... There was still a mystery about women. These days, it's all hangin' out, if you know what I mean.

Men: Glen Ford, something about him just sits well with me. And lastly, Gene Autry. He wan't the handsomest fella, but something about him, perhaps his good guy ethos, just sits well with me.

Still for the women, what icons of yesteryear represents the best of men, and why?

FYI - I'm having a side note discussion with my niece, a comparative with men today, she's 25.

Too funny, my neice picked the same fellas from that era, from the late 60s, early 70's.

In her women studies class, she's was having to admit, the men of the 50s, 60s, 70s, were still men, before the total number of guys vs. the average stRTING age of men went from 25 jumping to 45 before maturity and responsibilty settled in.

She balmed liberlism for asking men to not be men. She got a "C, 2.5" from her professor.

She loves Marilyn Monore.

I was born in the early '40s and I don't see much difference in that regard, to today's neighborhoods...except that there are far more kids being raised by a single parent or shared custody kids. Kids in my current neighborhood play in the streets, parks, and school yards just as I did as a child. One thing that has changed is that there are far more organized activities today than there were back in my day, which IMO is a mixed bag - good and bad.

I think it all depends on the "where." I grew up in the early 70's and for the most part the streets and parks were fairly safe places to hang out...even after dark. During my high school years it was not uncommen to hang out at one of the local lakes/ponds, build a fire, do some fishing, drink "ill-gotten" beer, and tell lies. But I also know that I grew up in a fairly small town, in the South, and cops were far more likely to let you go with a warning while the neighbors let your folks know that you were up to no good.

WD,(you.said.to.post.this...so.here.it.is.)

John Wayne!(born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979)

"He epitomized rugged masculinity and became an enduring American icon. He is famous for his distinctive voice, walk and height. He was also known for his conservative political views and his support, beginning in the 1950s, for anti-communist positions."

"Mr. Wayne invested $1.2 million in 1960 to make "The Alamo," about the fight between the Americans--the good guys--and the Mexicans--the bad guys. He played Davy Crockett. The picture was very dear to his heart because, he said, "We wanted to re-create a moment in history that will show this generation of Americans what their country still stands for . . what some of their forebears went through to win what they had to have or die*liberty and freedom."

Jane Russell... especially in "Underwater"! The young Elizabeth Taylor - in "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof"! (It was the second feature of a drive-in movie twin-bill, and I was supposed to be asleep in the back of the "Vista-Cruiser". Forevermore, a plain white slip is "lwhat does it" for me!)

But my favorite was "Gunga Din". Great cast- Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr

And, according to Hollywood lore, for the rest of their livess, those three addressed each other using their character names from that movie: Cutter, MacChesney, and Ballantine, respectively. I try to watch it at least once a year.
