Marilyn s'était achetée une maison à Brentwood, mais sans aucun meuble. Elle était partie à Mexico pour en acheter, dans le style local, et elle attendait leur livraison.
Marilyn à Barris: "On ne peut pas prendre de photos ici alors que ça n'a pas l'air fini ? Comment faire ?
-Si tu préfères, on retourne dans la maison de Catalina, celle de ton premier mari, je peux m'arranger.
-Non, je ne veux pas y retourner.
-J'ai un ami [Tim Leimert] qui vit du côté de Hollywood Hills. Sa maison serait parfaite. Je lui en ai parlé et il m'a dit qu'il voulait juste une photo de toi avec lui, en souvenir. Tu n'es pas obligée si tu n'as pas envie.
-Non, c'est très bien."

Marilyn bought a new house in Brentwood but it wasn't furnished. She had gone to Mexico to furnish it Mexican style. She was waiting for the furniture to arrive.
Marilyn to Barris: "How can we photograph there if it doesn't look right ? What can we do ?
-If you want to go back where you lived with your first husband in Catalina, I'll try.
-No, I don't want to go back.
-My friend's home in the Hollywood Hills would be perfect. When I brought it up, he said all he wants is a picture of you and him as a souvenir. You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
-No, it's okay."

Lot 1032: MARILYN MONROE SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE DRESS 
A Marilyn Monroe worn dress from her final film, Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962).

The interior of the studio constructed dress has hand finished details, is lined with ivory souffle, and has boning to the waistline. Jean Louis was the costume designer on the film. Monroe wore this dress when her character, who was proclaimed dead and returns from being stranded on an island for five years, is introduced in the film and reunited with her children, who do not realize she is their mother. Monroe was fired from the film, and while the studio tried to replace her with Lee Remick, the film's leading man, Dean Martin, refused to finish the film without Monroe. Monroe's untimely death came less than a month after she was let go from the production.
In 1989, raw footage of the uncompleted movie was discovered in 20th Century Fox’s film vault by the producers of Fox Entertainment News, who edited 37 minutes of the film, featured in the FEN documentary Marilyn: Something’s Got to Give (Fox Network, 1990). The edited footage was later re-purposed in AMC’s 2001 documentary Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days (Prometheus Entertainment), which aired on what would have been Monroe’s 75th birthday.
