Hanna-Barbera's trappings associated with Marilyn Monroe

Hanna-Barbera has used trappings being associated with Marilyn Monroe, including Saul Bass, Miklos Rozsa, Henry Corden, Keith Andes and Elia Kazan.


Completing the first 12-year cycle under Taft, Saul Bass, who created the opening sequence of Marilyn Monroe's The Seven Year Itch another 12 years before, made the swirling Hanna-Barbera logo.




Elia Kazan, though he did not direct Marilyn Monroe, is still her friend; he directed Viva Zapata!

In Viva Zapata!, Marlon Brando, who is a friend of Marilyn Monroe, is its main star, along with Alan Reed, who is later being involved in the first animated sitcom on television.



The Asphalt Jungle, one of the two Marilyn Monroe breakthroughs, also features Miklos Rozsa, who mentors Hanna-Barbera's main music composer, plus Henry Corden, who replaces Alan Reed.

Keith Andes, who stars with Marilyn Monroe in Clash by Night, voices Birdman.
