Was Marilyn's death the final death knell of the 1950s blonde bombshell era?

After her death, didn't Hollywood run from that image to disassociate themselves since her death at the time was hardly glamorous?

Definitely the end of an era.

1962 - death of Marilyn Monroe.

1963 - officially seen as the end of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Hot blonde actresses have never gone away!

Sure, the word "bombshell" is gone, but Hollywood still has a thing for blondies.
