- Greater Palm Springs Pride is organizing a gathering of Marilyn Monroe look-alikes in downtown Palm Springs this weekend, in honor of what would have been the Hollywood icon’s 100th birthday.
- The event aims to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of Monroe impersonators, with organizers hoping to attract 500 volunteers.
- Participants, who paid a $75 registration fee, received a white dress, a platinum-blonde wig, cat-eye sunglasses, and a martini glass to complete the iconic look.
- The previous record for Monroe look-alikes was 254, set in Brighton, Australia, in 2020.
- Funds raised from the event will benefit Greater Palm Springs Pride, a non-profit dedicated to promoting LGBTQ rights.
