Tracking the Porthole Prop: Marilyn Monroe’s Iconic Scene in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Film.

[Roland33]

Hi everyone,

I’m doing some detailed research on the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, specifically the iconic scene where Marilyn Monroe’s character, Lorelei Lee, gets stuck in the porthole window on the ship.

I’m looking for any photos, production stills, or archival records of the exact porthole window prop used in that scene — whether from studio archives, prop collections, or private collectors.

If anyone has information, images, or can point me toward where I might find details about this specific prop, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks so much for your help.
