Dumb blonde
Dumb blonde is a stereotype, typically applied to women with blond hair color, which achieved a degree of prominence in popular usage. Several notable actresses have (usually unfairly) been labelled "dumb blondes", Marilyn Monroe and Suzanne Somers (due to her role as Chrissy Snow on Three's Company) being perhaps two of the most notable examples. Dolly Parton is an example of a singer who used this image to her own benefit, singing songs such as "Dumb Blonde". Goldie Hawn is best known for playing a dumb blonde in several roles, including the stage persona she used on Laugh-In. The bimbo is an extreme form of the dumb blonde. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
