CO-STAR CORNER: Edward Montgomery Clift (10/17/1920 - 07/23/1966) had an illustrious career as the "moody" actor in Hollywood. Starring beside some of the most talented and beautiful actress of the time and Marilyn Monroe was just one of them. He had an instant and close bond with Marilyn (as he did with Elizabeth Taylor). Montgomery once said, "Marilyn was an incredible person to act with, the most marvelous I ever worked with and I have been working for 29 years." "The Misfits' (1961) A bit of

CO-STAR CORNER: Born: William Clark Gable (02/01/1901 – 11/16/1960) and who's name is synonymous with all that is Hollywood. Clark Gable was fortunate to work with the greats such as: Jean Harlow, Vivien Leigh, Joan Crawford, Clara Bow, Claudette Colbert, Myrna Loy and of course our lovely Marilyn Monroe. Gable was also married to Carole Lombard who tragically died in a plane crash. Some have said that he never recovered the loss. "The Misfits" (1961) would mark the last film for The King of Ho

DIRECTOR CORNER: John Marcellus Huston (08/05/1906 – 08/28/1987) Was an American born actor/director/screenwriter whose credits are a long list of some of the most beloved films in Hollywood's history: The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The Asphalt Jungle (1950), The African Queen (1951), The Misfits (1961), Fat City (1972), The Man Who Would Be King (1975) and Prizzi's Honor (1985).

CO-STAR CORNER: Lurene Tuttle (08/29/1907 – 05/28/1986) had a career that spanned not just over the decades, but all venues you could think of: vaudeville to radio, and later films and television. Tuttle's career of credits is impressive and not because she appeared in two movies with Marilyn Monroe as the leading lady, "Niagara" (1953) and "Don't Bother To Knock" (1952). #CatFight 💋. #DontBotherToKnockMovieMonth #MarilynMonroeMovie #AllAboutMarilyn #Marilyn #MarilynMonroe #MovieClip #CostarCo

CO-STAR CORNER: Elisha Vanslyck Cook Jr. (12/26/1903 – 05/18/1995) Delivered one of the best lines in the movie as Nell's frustrated and sympathetic Uncle (Eddie Forbes)…"You smell like a cooch dancer!" Elisha began in vaudeville and later became a well sought after character actor. Starring in many classic films and television such as the Maltese Falcon, Rosemary's Baby, Salem's Lot, Magnum P.I., and Gunsmoke.

CO-STAR CORNER: Richard Widmark born Richard Weedt Widmark (12/26/1914 – 03/24/2008) was a stage and film actor, but first started his path on the radio. Widmark had little patience for his fellow actors who may find it difficult to perform on-demand or at times found it difficult to arrive on set. Perhaps, he had a feeling (or was threatened) that this same actor was going (spoiler alert!) to steal the movie. #RichardWho 💋. #DontBotherToKnockMovieMonth #AllAboutMarilyn #DirectorCorner #Marilyn

DIRECTOR CORNER: Roy Ward Baker born Roy Horace Baker (12/19/1916 –10/05/2010) Was a fishmonger's son in London and began his road to directing in 1934 making tea for the film crew and later as an assistant director to Alfred Hitchcock in "The Lady Vanishes". He directed many, many films including: "A Night To Remember" and "Don't Bother To Knock." Marilyn Monroe was unsure of her being cast in the role of Nell Forbes and together without the help of an acting coach (because Natasha Lytess was b

CO-STAR CORNER: Robert Charles Duran Mitchum (08/06/1917 - 07/01/1997) A few interesting facts about Mitchum who is best know for his bad-boy laissez-faire acting style and was an icon in 1940's Film Noir and Westerns. Mitchum first discovered the love of acting at an amateur theater company in Long Beach, CA. He attended school with both James Dougherty (MM's First husband) and Jane Russell (MM's Co-Star in GPB) and is named #23 greatest actor on The 50 Greatest Screen Legends by the American F

DIRECTOR CORNER: Otto Preminger (12/05/1905 - 04/23/1986) the Hungarian born was supposed to be a lawyer, but fell in love with the arts. Preminger, the Director of "River of No Return" (1954), was not an "Actors Director" and found it difficult working with Marilyn Monroe. He admittedly said (with a backhanded compliment) that Marilyn Monroe could not act yet she had the rare quality of star power. Marilyn sprained her ankle during the filming and it was then that he finally let up on her (as t

CO-STAR CORNER: Arthur Joseph O'Connell (March 29, 1908 – May 18, 1981) was a well-known face in many films, TV shows, and plays. As Vigil in Bus Stop (1956) he delivers another stellar performance. He and Marilyn struck up a kindship on set and she felt comfortable with his gentle demeanor. Here is the first scene he shares with Marilyn…where Vigil catches Cherie hustling him for drinks (which she doesn't want to do but her boss, the saloon manager, makes all the girls do that work there.

CO-STAR CORNER: Eileen Heckart (born Anna Eileen Herbert; March 29, 1919 – December 31, 2001) Tony and Oscar winner for Best Supporting actress. Heckart had everything Marilyn Monroe had wanted which was respect and a family. Marilyn would inevitably leave her mark on Eileen. The two gravitated towards one another and Eileen was the only other actor in the film with whom Monroe appeared to have developed a close rapport off the set while filming "Bus Stop" (1956).

CO-STAR CORNER: Donald Patrick Murray (born July 31, 1929) recalled a scene in which Joshua Logan wanted a tight headshot of the two of them at the counter of the Bus Stop's cafe, which is one of the first in the CinemaScope process being used for the film. The top of Murray's head was to be out of the frame. "The audience won't miss the top of your head, Don," Marilyn Monroe explained. "They know it's there because it's already been established." Another laugh came when Murray mistakenly used t

DIRECTOR CORNER: Joshua Lockwood Logan III (October 5, 1908 – July 12, 1988) - his illustrious film and stage career spanned decades. Logan was sympathetic to the actor and he was on the shortlist of Marilyn Monroe's list of approved directors. Logan would describe, "Marilyn Monroe was a great actress, a combination of Greta Garbo and Charles Chaplin." "She was the most constantly exciting actress I ever worked with, and that excitement was not related to her celebrity but to her humanness, to t
CO-STAR CORNER: Alexandra Heilweil and Robert Christopher Morley played Marilyn Monroe’s children for about eight weeks during filming of "Something's Got To Give" (1962). “One of the things that I remember most about her is that she was very personable,” Morley says of Monroe. “You can sense as a little kid who really cares about you and who could care less. I distinctly remember that she was very warm, that she would spend time talking to you as another human being, as opposed to some of the o Who Really Cares, Care Less, Human Being, Care About You, Talking To You, The Things, Things That, Sense
