MARILYN MONROE: WHY DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND

For the final episode of 2021, Carol discusses why "diamonds are a girl's best friend" with LA-based author and journalist Karina Longworth, presenter of the You Must Remember This podcast. Together they analyse Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the movie that gave us the famous diamond-related adage, and discuss the careers of Anita Loos, the author of the original novel on which the film is based, and of Marilyn Monroe herself.
