3. Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe
On the screen both Curtis and Monroe not only exuded appeal, but also shared a vivid romantic chemistry. Off the screen however, Curtis hated her and compared her with Hitler. During the filming of Some Like It Hot, issues that Marilyn had made life tough for all the cast and crew members. Curtis hated working with her and when someone asked how he felt about doing romantic scenes with her he said that kissing her was like kissing Hitler. Famous for playing dumb blonde characters, Monroe was one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and the highest paid actress for a decade. Monroe controlled the use of her images and devised her own publicity strategy. Despite Tony Curtis’ comment, he later claimed that the two famous people who hated each other had an affair which resulted in Monroe’s pregnancy.
