It isn't Marilyn, Sugar

According to IMDB,

Marilyn Monroe required 47 takes to get "It's me, Sugar" correct, instead saying either "Sugar, it's me" or "It's Sugar, me". After take 30, Billy Wilder had the line written on a blackboard. Another scene required Monroe to rummage through some drawers and say "Where's the bourbon?" After 40 takes of her saying "Where's the whiskey?", 'Where's the bottle?", or "Where's the bonbon?", Wilder pasted the correct line in one of the drawers. After Monroe became confused about which drawer contained the line, Wilder had it pasted in every drawer. Fifty-nine takes were required for this scene and when she finally does say it, she has her back to the camera, leading some to wonder if Wilder finally gave up and had it dubbed.​

You can not mix these 3 women together and say who was the most accomplished actress, because of the period in time when they were performers, I love Rita Hayworth in from 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and even in later years up to her death.
Rita would have to be nominated due to her career life span.
The lovely Audrey Hepburn for her parts in 1950s, 1960s these were her strong points in films that fans admire, but you can’t compare her, due to Rita's longevity.
That lives Marilyn Monroe on the short straw, tireless rehearsal, troubled personal life, died just when she was about to be acclaimed a great actress, very short film career. All in different time periods.
I see by the threads, posts, most have made Rita Hayworth lesser accomplished, you can’t possibly be serious, if you take a good look at Rita’s career, her films, she out points Hepburn and Monroe, and I stand with talented beautiful Rita Hayworth above all.

Hepburn is my dish, but so is the later, post-icon Hayworth, who turned in some sensitive and very real performances in the 50s. Don't look for stills from those pix, tho. They're nowhere.

You should check out Rita Hayworth - A Photographic Retrospective by Caren Roberts-Frenzel. I bought it a few years back - it has an incredible selection of photos of Rita's life from her childhood to just before she passed away - lots of candids and stills of her on set - highly recommended.

Yeah, but to be fair, this was at a time where she was already not doing "that well" anymore....

I don't know, I think I've never seen a Hayworth movie (should I be ashamed now?) and don't like Hepburn really, I don't know, I've never seen a movie with her that I actually liked, even the Billy Wilder one didn't do it for me, and Wilder is one of my favourite directors and I love everything he's done, except for that movie. So I must go for Marilyn (great reason, yeah) no, but there's just something about her, I think it's the drama probably. Marilyn somehow is Marilyn in all of her movies, so I'm not sure if you can really call her an actress(?)

Thank You for that info, Rita has been a favorite for years (along with Veronica Lake) I maybe nuts, but every time I hear that BeaTles song "Lovely Rita" I am reminded of her ;) She's just a fascinating, talented woman, Thanks!

I adore all three actresses as style icons, but I feel Audrey really was the most accomplished if we're looking at their careers. Not only was she a fabulous actress with a great repitoire of films, she worked actively in the world, trying to make it a better place for all inhabitants through her time with UNICEF.

She was a lady, a talent, and a humanitarian.
