Finger wave A finger wave is a method of setting hair into waves (curls) that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s and again in the late 1990s in North America and Europe. Silver screen actresses such as Bette Davis or Anita Page, and singer/dancer Josephine Baker are attributed with the original popularity of finger waves. In their return in the 1990s, the style was popularized by Hip Hop stars of the time, specifically Missy Elliot. The popularity of finger waves in the 1990s was aided by a movement toward shorter, more natural hair in the African-American community.

Marilyn Monroe performances and awards Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962) was an American actress who appeared in 29 films between 1946 and 1961. After a brief career in modeling she signed short-term film contracts, first with 20th Century Fox, then Columbia Pictures, and appeared in minor roles for the first few years of her career. In 1950, she made minor appearances in two critically acclaimed films, "The Asphalt Jungle" and "All About Eve". The parts in the two films were against many of the roles into which she was typecast, that of the dumb blonde. Margot A. Henriksen, her biographer with the "American National Biography", considers the typecast "an unfair stereotype that bothered her throughout her career".
