Boo. That was my choice.

Legally Blonde isn't a Dumb Blonde film - its a subversion about a Bunny-Ears Lawyer. Elle doesn't even practice Obfuscating Stupidity (as at least some of Marilyn Monroe's characters are clearly doing in her films.)
The House Bunny is a good example though.

How to marry a millionare is a good one. The three female leads are blonde one is smart, one is a cloud cuckoolander, the other ends up doing really stupid things because she is trying to hide the fact that she wears glasses even though she is blind as a bat without them.
Dont think either of them count as being completely stupid but they sure do some dumb things. Oh marilyn monroe is the glasses wearign one.

Karen from Mean Girls. "I can put my whole fist in my mouth. Wanna see?"
"With hard work and dedication, I will become a splendid ninja!"If anything, I have to wonder if Legally Blonde killed the dumb blonde as a credible movie trope. Anyone who uses it now generally needs to be doing something clever with it.

Possibly it did kill them off which is a real shame, though Mean Girls did postdate Legally Blonde. On the other hand while I thought Amanda Seyfried was hilarious, Karen was not the main character by any means.
Back in the 90s of course you had Romy And Micheles High School Reunion (which I love).
I'll give How To Marry A Millionare a shot, thanks for the suggestions!

The Dumb Blonde trope is a guilty pleasure of mine (at least when done well such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for films with these sort of characters?
To qualify the film should have a Dumb Blonde as either the main character herself or at worst a key supporting character. The age of the film is not an issue - I'm a fan of films from the 1930s through today. English language is prefered but I'm willing to consider other languages if subtitles/dubbing are around.
