Blonde temptations for shy guys

In continuation with our last post "Blondes or Brunettes", here it's a new turn of the screw on the matter. Let's start with Ellen Pompeo, beautiful as blonde or brunette (btw, congrats to Ellen for her imminent maternity!):
"Pompeo's welcoming eyes, warm smile, mousy voice, stringy blonde hair and pale, freckled skin seem perfect for her characterisation. Even when tested with bad dialogue, saccharine scenes or contrivances, her work is honest and free of mannerism. This is an auspicious début of a talented actress; here's hoping she is not typecast as a working-class dish-pan blonde". Source: thecia.com.au

Marilyn Monroe's iconic sensuality has been transformed and mutated by many blonde actresses:

I think it's one of these coming of age movies that summarizes this reflection by Alain Arias-Misson perfectly: "The purpose of art is not a rarified, intellectual distillate - it is life, intensified, brilliant life". I developed my crush on Emile Hirsch first seeing him as Matthew Kidman, he was contradictory, shy, an unconscious big flirt.Emile Hirsch with "The girl next door" director Luke Greenfield.The renascent kiss inside the limo scene.The victory came after a temporary defeat (Matthew's ecstasy episode during his scholarship speech dinner).Emile Hirsch and Elisha Cuthbert attending the "Details" magazine Party, 2003.Emile Hirsch between Chris Marquette and Paul Dano.Paul Dano with Amanda Seyfried in "Teen People" magazine.Emile Hirsch dated Amanda Seyfried (2005-2006), "Lords of Dogtown" premiere.
