Real or fake, these blondes own it!

Since Hollywood's Golden Era, blondes have been held in high regard. The striking and sexy hair color helped to propel the careers of famous (but not true) blondes such as Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow. And it's become the signature look for today's hottest actresses and entertainers, including Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lawrence. Even Kim Kardashian experimented with a short-lived bleach blonde hairdo.

We asked our Facebook and Twitter followers to nominate their picks for the most famous blondes of all time -- both natural and faux. Ms. Monroe was an obvious choice, but we got all nostalgic when style icons like Dolly Parton and Anna Nicole Smith were name-dropped. Check out our list below, and tell us if we've missed anyone in the comments section.
