Gosh, that was quick. Unless it was easier than I thought it was.
Yep, all played Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Taylor in the original silent film (1928 I think. It's been lost but was one of the first films to have any sound in it. Just one scene so they could have a poisson/poison joke that wouldn't work in subtitles), Channing in the original stage show and of course Marilyn in the 1953 musical film.
Your go Matthew.

Probably not that easy, but my wife is way big into musicals, and I like the novel version of GPB.
This one should be pretty easy. It's also backwards: I'll give the answer, and you provide the three examples (I suppose there could be more than three, but I have a hard time imagining it):
Three mainstream comic-book women with the superpower of long, prehensile hair.
1.
