Are you kidding? Just because she was blonde wouldn't qualify her as a Hitchcock heroine; he hated any kind of obvious sexuality on the screen. Since his career was winding down after 1962 anyway, in which film of his do you picture Marilyn appearing? In addition, Marilyn did not have the extraordinary talent that Doris Day possessed, so to imagine her in any Day role is just plain silly. What movie, other than Move Over, Darling, did Doris "inherit" from Marilyn?
