The dress has a fitted bodice with hand-gathered pleats that are hand sewn into place. The bodice and skirt are sewn just below the waistline, while the skirt is also hand-pleated and accompanied by a sash/tie sewn in on both sides of the dress to cinch it and offer more definition.

In the film, costume designer William Travilla designed the gown for one of the film's dream sequences imagined by director
Billy Wilder. In this particular scene, which was later cut from the film, Richard Sherman (played by Ewell) envisions his
neighbor, "the Girl," impersonating Mae West in this costume, pairing the dazzling gown with a green-tipped black ostrich feather boa, a pair of
red marabou feather accented mules, and a cigarette holder - the West signature. Although Monroe and West never crossed paths in real life, West was later quoted as saying, "The only gal who came near to me in the sex appeal department was pretty little Marilyn Monroe. All the others had were big boobs." Includes a black and white photo, and an issue of the magazine The True Story of Marilyn Monroe, which features a photo of Monroe wearing the dress.

  Lot 513: Marilyn Monroe | Actor's Studio Notebook
A small six-ring binder containing lined notebook pages in a black and red vinyl case by National that belonged to Marilyn Monroe. The small notebook contains 10 pages of notes in Monroe's hand, in pencil, on eight leaves of paper. The notes were taken during a class with Lee Strasberg and record bits and pieces of things that "Lee said," as is repeated on many pages, which include "For yourself not for us - or one doesn't use own sensitivity/ girl crying continuously Lee said - There should be a certain pleasure in This, in acting - we don't stop these things - she stoped [sic] crying only at those times"; "problems-all the more to be solved got to keep swimming/ criticism can be taken - to incite the will not self criticism"; "the actor has to do what the character has to do - let the author worry about his words"; "Life of - reality of champagne (you don't open every bottle the same) actor in scene took for granted (girl is going to be good (New). Boy - said lines no effort - like crossing street - Lee said he wants - Behavior - When someone is trying to make someone (love etc.) how does one go about it/ Lee said - girl simplicity good honesty, to begin (New) with - but..." The last notes are taken on two sides of one leaf of paper and read "My heart Belongs To Daddy Number/ Remember always left -" and "While tearing off/ caddy-move head a little/ Daddy R. shoulder up/ call dog in closer"; clearly, these notes are for Monroe's musical number in Let's Make Love (20th Century Fox, 1960). The notes correlate with the lyrics of the song, and indeed Monroe does move her head a little during the first verse that mentions the caddy, and she does raise her right shoulder up the first time she says "Daddy" in the chorus.

  Lot 515: Marilyn Monroe | Handwritten Free Association Notes
Four pages torn from an Italian agenda, dating between 1955 and 1956, feature notes handwritten in pencil by Marilyn Monroe. It is believed that the pages correspond to Monroe's work with Dr. Hohenberg, in which she began practicing self-analysis and working on her repressed memories. The notations in pencil jump from one topic to the next, wandering around the physical pages themselves and even passing from one page to the next and then back again. It is difficult to follow, but the topics include examining her childhood need to lie to her teacher, her physical insecurities, self-conscious thoughts of what others think of her drinking, speculation that "Peter" is capable of violence and possibly wants to be her, as well as a touching passage about Arthur Miller: "I am so concerned/ about protecting Arthur/ I love him-and he is the/ only person-human being I have/ ever known that I could love not only/ as a man to which I am attracted to practically/ out of my senses about-but he is the only/ person-as another human being that I trust as/ much as myself-because when I do trust my-/ self (about certain things) I do fully, and I/ do about him also." Another revealing passage reads in part, "… fear to touch my own body/ after Buddy (I started to write Bad instead of Buddy-/ slip in writing?)/ because A.I. punished me/ with fear and whipped me-/ ‘The bad part of my body’ she said-/ must never touch myself/ there or let anyone." It is believed that "A.I." refers to Aunt Ida Martin, a foster mother who punished Monroe as a child, possibly after a sexual abuse incident, with the "Buddy" mentioned here.

  Lot 519: Marilyn Monroe | Handwritten "Something's Got To Give" Script Notes
A Millers Falls EZERASE pad of typewriter paper on which Marilyn Monroe has handwritten notes in pencil regarding the script for the comedy Something's Got To Give, which remained uncompleted at the time of her death in 1962. The cover is detached but present, and the three hole-punched pad contains four pages of notes in Monroe's hand in pencil outlining her issues with the script for the film. The notes and criticisms include "logical drama but doesn't move on the screen/ leads him on than [sic] said not until"; "instead using the talents/ he's stuck/ imagine being married to MM and she comes back and he is stuck/ he'd dying to go Bed with her but can't because"; "more entertaining/ keep it on an edge/ if it isn't that kind of picture it won't go -/ only if script is acceptable." Then come Monroe's suggestions for a scene with checkmarks next to the ideas: "When Dean first see's Ellen -me- in nurses uniform - (as nurse) he could say - upon arrival - slouching ‘I don't feel so good nurse (weakening in the knees how could she do this to me/ I am telling her/ Beanka kind of stiffening up to hold him & the situation (the nite [sic] before) together he then pulls up but Dean will do this superbly/ He sings little song when drunk & frustrated." She also lists specific passages: "Page 73 (yes? - No? you understand Dean!)/ Page 76 children scene (in comparison to rewrite)." A small note on the last page of notes reads "Funny line writers Herb Gardner / Mel Brook [sic]."
These notes present a very astute Monroe who clearly had serious concerns with the quality of the script, demonstrating that her refusal to appear on set was grounded in these concerns and not simply the actions of a petulant star.

Lot 520: Marilyn Monroe | Personally Annotated "The Misfits" Script Sides
A bound collection of more than 30 mimeographed half pages containing Monroe's dialogue for the film The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). Many of the pages feature annotations in pencil in Monroe's handwriting. The green paper cover is affixed with a label that reads "Marilyn Monroe Miller." Monroe has drawn lines through some of the dialogue and among her annotations are the following: "Stretch like a cat / see painted / follow him like kitten" and "we've had a wonderful night / and things have been easy for us - / shield eyes looking up bright to see / is the plane coming in / listening - for it." On the back inside cover are the words "Nothing is coming / but at least I can / make the (an) effort" and "My thought are any place / I Marilyn (possibly Rosilyn [sic]) wants / to put them." Also written in are the words "Copied : July 30, 1960."
The Misfits chronicled Roslyn (Monroe), a recent divorcee in Reno, Nevada, who befriends a group of "misfits" that includes an aging cowboy (Clark Gable) and a weary rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). The John Huston-directed, Arthur Miller-scripted movie became notorious for its behind-the-scenes problems, culminating with shooting being shut down while Monroe was hospitalized and at the end of her marriage to Miller. Gable would die a few weeks after shooting wrapped and this would prove to be Monroe's final completed film. Although The Misfits was considered a disappointment at the time of its release, its stature has grown over the years.

The letters are dated July 16, 1958, and August 9, 1957, and relate a number of amusing stories. The 1958 letter is typed on the back of a piece of stationery from the Hotel Bel-Air. In the first letter, Monroe tells Bobby Miller about Hugo the dog's escapades, taking things from the neighbors, and asks him to help her figure out what his sister Janie would like for her birthday. The 1958 letter tells him, "I haven't seen Jack Lemmon yet because he is still working on another picture. He has a very funny part in this picture. Also, he plays a friend of mine. I started to take ukulele lessons because I'm supposed to know how in the picture. I've got an idea: Maybe we can learn something together--you on the guitar and me on the ukulele--you know, charge people admission to hear us."
Monroe also tells him about her brief ownership of a Cocker Spaniel: "About two days ago someone gave me a Cocker Spaniel puppy 10 months old, completely house-broken. So I was going to call your Dad and ask him if it was okay to keep him--then I found out quite by accident that he bites--he didn't bite me but he bit a woman on the throat the day before, so I said 'thanks a lot but no thanks.' His name was 'Walter' and he was a golden-haired spaniel and just beautiful but he seemed just too 'schizo' --short for schizophrenic --you remember you explained what that meant."

Lot 638: Marilyn Monroe | Burial Crypt Near Monroe And Hugh Hefner
A one-space mausoleum crypt in close proximity to the final resting places of both screen icon Marilyn Monroe and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

It is situated one row above and four spaces to the left of Monroe's.
Monroe died unexpectedly at age 36 on August 4, 1962. Baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, Monroe's ex-husband, organized a private funeral for her that took place in the cemetery chapel on August 8. DiMaggio is reported to have chosen this location because Grace Goddard and Ana Lower, who had both helped care for Monroe as a young girl when her mother became incapacitated, had been buried there. Monroe fans from around the world continue to make pilgrimages to the cemetery to pay respects to the entertainer.
Hefner famously launched Playboy magazine in 1953 with Monroe on the cover of the first issue and with a nude photograph Monroe had posed for in 1949. He purchased the crypt to the immediate left of hers in 1992 and was interred there shortly after his death in 2017. In a 2009 interview with Los Angeles Times, Hefner discussed the purchase, saying, "Spending eternity next to Marilyn is an opportunity too sweet to pass up."
Among the other show business luminaries interred at Pierce Brothers Westwood are Natalie Wood, Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neal, Truman Capote, Twentieth Century Fox president Darryl F. Zanuck, Monroe's Some Like It Hot costar Jack Lemmon, and Billy Wilder, who directed Monroe in The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot.

Monroe died unexpectedly at age 36 on August 4, 1962 and was interred following a private funeral that took place in the cemetery chapel on August 8. Monroe fans from around the world continue to make pilgrimages to the cemetery to pay respects to the entertainer. The constant touching of the marker has led to minor wear causing it to be replaced as needed.

Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000  - Sold Price: $-

Lot 89101: Marilyn Monroe Rare Oversize "Champion Line" 1952 Nude Calendar Sample Sales Portfolio.
Vintage original 1952 sample sales portfolio produced by "Champion Line" Calendars. Multi-size calendar sales mock-ups were sent to prospective businesses along with order forms and catalogs. This original 1952 sample spiral-bound portfolio features Monroe's most famous nude image, titled "Golden Dreams," among a variety of other subjects, including both cheesecake, and everyday life scenes. Monroe's name was not printed on this early calendar image; not until their 1956 calendars would "Champion Line" capitalize on Monroe's celebrity and re-issue the "Golden Dreams" pin-up with her name listed in bold text (along with unused images from the 1949 photo shoot). The uncommonly oversized 16.5" x 21" spiral calendar-formatted portfolio includes the legendary 1952 calendar plate (Monroe's page measures 16" x 20") plus other subjects in this size, as well as a smaller 14" x 14" plate of a Norman Rockwell-type scene of a young boy hiding his dog on a passenger train. Monroe's "Golden Dreams" image reached legendary proportions when Hugh Hefner made it the centerfold for the very first issue of Playboy in 1953. Displays moderate toning and signs of handling to corners and margins, including a 2" separation from spiral binding at upper left, plus minor red marker spots at center left margin. Interior pages remain relatively fresh, showing only minor flecking at extreme lower margins from page turning. Obtained from Profiles in History, June 1, 1996, Lot #400.

La campagne publicitaire a débuté en janvier 2024 pour lancer la nouvelle collection de rouges à lèvres de Charlotte Tilbury, nommés "Hollywood Beauty Icon" ("icône de beauté hollywoodienne" en français) qui comprend deux thèmes: le rouge (Hollywood Reds) et le rose (Hollywood Pinks) avec cinq nuances pour chacun. Sofia Tilbury (nièce de Charlotte) qui est maquilleuse professionnelle, explique notamment qu'"il s'agit d'une gamme nuancée de rouges à lèvres à effet contour faciles à utiliser pour donner à chacune la confiance d'une star hollywoodienne." Cette allusion à Hollywood est utilisée en s'appuyant sur un vibrant hommage à l'âge d'or d'Hollywood et aux comédies musicales des années 1950s. On découvre les modèles en coulisses, devant leur table de maquillage puis sur scène, entourées de danseurs. A la fin du spot publicitaire, les danseurs présentent des panneaux publicitaires, tels des slogans qui était présentés dans les bandes annonces des films à l'époque.

The advertising campaign began in January 2024 to launch Charlotte Tilbury's new collection of lipsticks, named "Hollywood Beauty Icon" which includes two themes: red (Hollywood Reds) and pink (Hollywood Pinks) with five shades for each. Sofia Tilbury (Charlotte's niece) who is a professional makeup artist, explains in particular that "It’s a nuanced range of easy-to-use, contour-effect lipsticks to give everyone that Hollywood star confidence." This allusion to Hollywood is used based on a vibrant homage to the golden age of Hollywood and the musical comedies of the 1950s. We discover the models backstage, in front of their makeup table then on stage, surrounded by dancers. At the end of the commercial, the dancers present advertising panels, such as slogans that were presented in movie trailers at the time.

Charlotte_Tilbury-2024-video-cap23  Charlotte Tilbury fait encore appel à la mannequin Kate Moss pour être l'une des égéries de sa marque. Pour présenter l'un des rouges à lèvres rose, Kate est en coulisses, devant un miroir, telle Marilyn Monroe qui a été photographiée plusieurs fois en train de se mettre du rouge à lèvres devant sa table de maquillage. Bien que Kate a ici les cheveux longs et ondulés, coiffés dans le style de Veronica Lake, actrice culte du cinéma hollywoodien des années 1940s et dont la particularité était sa longue chevelure ondulée avec une mèche retombant sur un oeil.

Charlotte Tilbury once again calls on model Kate Moss to be one of the faces of her brand. To present one of the pink lipsticks, Kate is backstage, in front of a mirror, like Marilyn Monroe who has been photographed several times putting on lipstick in front of her makeup table. Although Kate has long, wavy hair here, in the style of Veronica Lake, a cult actress in Hollywood cinema of the 1940s and whose particularity was her long wavy hair with a lock falling over one eye.

La robe rose pâle que porte Kate Moss fait écho à celle que porte Marilyn Monroe (robe de Ceil Chapman): une robe longue moulante à fronces.

The pale pink dress worn by Kate Moss echoes the one worn by Marilyn Monroe (dress by Ceil Chapman): a long, tight-fitting dress with gathers.

Charlotte_Tilbury-2024-video-cap49   Pour présenter le rouge à lèvres rouge, Kate est vêtue d'une robe rose, à l'image de celle portée par Marilyn dans le film "Les hommes préfèrent les blondes", bien que la robe de Kate soit plus courte que celle portée par Marilyn. Dans le spot tv, Kate est mise en scène à l'identique de celle où Marilyn chante "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", entourée de danseurs, dans un décor au fond rouge.
L'actrice et chanteuse trans américaine Michaela Jae Rodriguez est aussi rapidement mise en scène avec les danseurs dans le spot tv, mais elle est vêtue d'une petite robe moulante.

Charlotte_Tilbury-2024-video-cap17  To present the red lipstick, Kate is dressed in a pink dress, like the one worn by Marilyn in the film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", although Kate's dress is shorter than the one worn by Marilyn. In the TV spot, Kate is staged identically to the one where Marilyn sings "Diamonds are a girl's best friend", surrounded by dancers, in a setting with a red background.
American trans actress and singer Michaela Jae Rodriguez is also quickly featured with the dancers in the TV spot, but she is dressed in a tight little dress.

Décès de l'acteur Don Murray

Don_Murray-1  L'acteur américain Don Murray est décédé à l'âge de 94 ans le 2 février 2024 dans sa maison de Goleta en Californie. La triste nouvelle a été annoncée par son fils Christopher - lui aussi acteur - qu'il avait eu avec l'actrice Hope Lange, via le New York Times.

Né le 31 juillet 1929 à Los Angeles, Don Murray baigne immédiatement dans l'univers du spectacle avec deux parents qui travaillent à Broadway. Il fait ses études au lycée de New York, où il appartient à l'équipe de football. Après son diplôme, il suit des cours à l'Académie américaine des arts dramatiques, ce qui lui permet de décrocher un rôle dans la pièce de théâtre Rose Tattoo en 1951 et de décrocher de petits rôles dans plusieurs séries télé jusqu'en 1956.
Il part faire son service militaire en Europe afin de venir en aide aux orphelins et victimes de la seconde guerre mondiale. De retour aux Etats-Unis en 1954, il joue dans la pièce The Skin of Our Teeth. Lors de l'une des représentations, Marilyn et le réalisateur Joshua Logan se trouvent dans le public. Epaté par la performance de Don Murray, Logan lui propose son premier rôle au cinéma: celui de Beauregard "Beau" Decker dans l'adaptation de la pièce Bus Stop (Arrêt d'Autobus) avec Marilyn Monroe. Ce rôle va booster sa carrière: d'inconnu, il devient une célébrité. Il racontera: "Personne n'était moins bien équipé que moi pour ce rôle. J'étais un New-Yorkais qui n'était jamais monté à cheval et qui avait plaqué des joueurs de football, mais certainement pas des bœufs de 200 kg". Il obtient une nomination aux BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards) dans la catégorie du "nouveau venu le plus prometteur" et pour l'Oscar du "meilleur acteur dans un second rôle".

Don_Murray-BS-1  

Don_Murray-Hope_Lange-1957 Juste après le tournage du film, il épouse le 14 avril 1956 l'actrice Hope Lange (au casting de Bus Stop qui était aussi son premier film) avec qui il aura deux enfants: Christopher (né en 1957) et Patricia. Ils divorceront en 1961.
Il se remarrie en 1962 avec celle qui partagera le reste de sa vie, Elizabeth Johnson (actrice sous le nom de Betty Murray) et avec qui il a trois enfants: Colleen, Sean et Michael.

Il enchaîne ensuite les films: La nuit des maris (1957, avec Lee Remick), Une poignée de neige (1957, avec Eva Marie Saint), La Fureur des Hommes (1958, réalisé par Henry Hataway), Duel dans la boue (1959, avec Lee Remick), L'épopée dans l'ombre (1959, avec James Cagney), Les Hors-La-Loi (1960 avec Alan Ladd), Le mal de vivre (1961), Tempête à Washington (1962, avec Henry Fonda et Charles Laughton, réalisé par Otto Preminger), Tunnel 28 (1962, de Robert Siodmak), Le sillage de la violence (1965, avec Lee Remick et Steve McQueen), Les Fusils du Far-West (1966), La reine des Vikings (1967), La conquête de la planète des singes (1972), Peggy Sue s'est mariée (1986, de Francis Ford Coppola avec Kathleen Turner et Nicolas Cage).

Dans les années 1970s, il se tourne vers la télévision: en plus de jouer dans des épisodes de séries télé (comme Les Bannis en 1968 et 1969, Le monde merveilleux de Disney en 1972 et 1998, Love Story en 1973, Hooker en 1986, Arabesque en 1993), il joue surtout dans beaucoup de téléfilms.
Sa carrière télévisée sera marquée par un rôle récurrent dans la série à succès Côte Ouest (il apparaît dans 34 épisodes de 1979 à 1982). Il arrête sa carrière en 2001 mais revient en 2017 pour tourner dans 8 épisodes de Twin Peaks: The Return, et son dernier rôle dans Promise en 2021.

Dès ses débuts dans le cinéma, il s'est refusé d'appartenir à un studio en déclinant un contrat proposé par les studios de la 20th Century Fox. Il a toujours souhaité rester libre et indépendant pour mener sa carrière.


Don_Murray-1-2  American actor Don Murray died at the age of 94 on February 2, 2024 at his home in Goleta, California. The sad news was announced by his son Christopher - also an actor - whom he had with actress Hope Lange, via the New York Times.

Born July 31, 1929 in Los Angeles, Don Murray was immediately immersed in the world of entertainment with two parents who worked on Broadway. He studied at New York High School, where he was a member of the football team. After his graduation, he took classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, which allowed him to land a role in the play Rose Tattoo in 1951 and to land small roles in several television series until 1956.
He
leaves to do his military service in Europe in order to help orphans and victims of the Second World War. Returning to the United States in 1954, he played in the play The Skin of Our Teeth. At one of the performances, Marilyn and director Joshua Logan are in the audience. Amazed by Don Murray's performance, Logan offered him his first role in the cinema: that of Beauregard "Beau" Decker in the adaptation of the play Bus Stop with Marilyn Monroe. This role will boost his career: from unknown, he becomes a celebrity. He said: "No one was less equipped for this role than me. I was a New Yorker who had never ridden a horse and who had tackled football players, but certainly not 200 kg oxen." He received a nomination for the BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards) in the category of “Most Promising Newcomer” and for the Oscar for “Best Supporting Actor”.

Don_Murray-Betty-1964 Just after filming the film, on April 14, 1956, he married actress Hope Lange (in the cast of Bus Stop which was also her first movie) with whom he had two children: Christopher (born in 1957) and Patricia. They divorced in 1961.
He remarries in 1962 to the woman who would share the rest of his life, Elizabeth Johnson (actress under the name of Betty Murray) and with whom he has three children: Colleen, Sean and Michael.

He then goes on to make films: The Bachelor Party (1957, with Lee Remick), A Hatful of Rain (1957, with Eva Marie Saint), From Hell to Texas (1958, directed by Henry Hataway), These Thousand Hills (1959, with Lee Remick), Shake Hands with the Devil (1959, with James Cagney), One foot in Hell (1960, with Alan Ladd), The Hoodlum Priest (1961), Advise & Consent (1962, with Henry Fonda and Charles Laughton, directed by Otto Preminger), Escape from East Berlin (1962, by Robert Siodmak), Baby the Rain Must Fall (1965, with Lee Remick and Steve McQueen), The Plainsman (1966), The Viking Queen (1967), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), Peggy Sue Got Married (1986, by Francis Ford Coppola with Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage).

In the 1970s, he turned to television: in addition to playing in episodes of TV series (such as The Outcasts in 1968 and 1969, The Wonderful World of Disney in 1972 and 1998, Love Story in 1973, Hooker in 1986, Murder, She Wrote in 1993), he mainly plays in many TV films.
His television career was marked by a recurring role in the hit series Knots Landing (he appeared in 34 episodes from 1979 to 1982). He stopped his career in 2001 but returned in 2017 to appear in 8 episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return, and his last role in Promise in 2021.

From his beginnings in cinema, he refused to belong to a studio by declining a contract offered by the 20th Century Fox studios. He always wanted to remain free and independent to pursue his career.

- Extraits d'une interview de Don Murray en ligne sur Cote Ouest Addict

"Quand j'ai intégré l'équipe de « Bus Stop », j’étais de retour aux États-Unis depuis moins d’un an. J'ai vécu en Allemagne durant une année et en Italie pendant un an et demi. Marilyn était célèbre là-bas mais pas aussi célèbre que Sophia Loren ou Gina Lollobrigida. Je ne l'avais vue que dans un seul film, « Les hommes préfèrent les blondes » [1953]. Donc je ne savais pas grand-chose d'elle, et quand j'ai été embauché pour « Bus Stop », j'ai été surpris de toute la publicité que nous recevions. Partout où nous allions, il y avait toujours des journalistes et des cameramen. C'était très inhabituel pour moi parce que je ne savais pas à quel point elle était une grande star à l'époque."

"Je dois dire que je l'admire vraiment pour la façon dont elle s'est souciée suffisamment de la forme d'art du cinéma en quittant Hollywood au sommet de sa gloire et ne pas se contenter d'être un sex-symbol. Elle voulait être une vraie actrice. Lorsqu'elle quitte Hollywood pour étudier à l'Actors Studio de New York pendant un an, "Bus Stop" marque son retour au cinéma. Et je la trouvais magnifique dans ce film, même si elle était toujours en retard sur le plateau et qu'elle avait du mal à se souvenir de ses répliques. Elle avait également une capacité de concentration très courte: elle commençait une scène et s'arrêtait au milieu parce qu'elle oubliait ses répliques. Elle a donc dû faire toutes ses scènes en petits morceaux parce qu'elle ne pouvait pas maintenir une scène jusqu'au bout. Nous n'avons jamais vu une scène complète avec elle. Tous les acteurs du film venaient du théâtre, comme Hope Lange et moi, Arthur O'Connell, Eileen Heckart - tous les acteurs du film - donc nous étions habitués à avoir une performance continue et nous allions aux rushes pour voir le travail de la veille. On voyait tous ces petits morceaux, et on pensait que le film allait être un désastre. Cependant, la première fois que nous l'avons vu en avant-première, nous avons tout d'un coup réalisé quelle était la magie des films, avec le montage des scènes; elle était magnifique ! Je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi elle n'avait pas été nominée [pour un Oscar] pour « Bus Stop ». Ce prix a été remporté par Ingrid Bergman – une merveilleuse actrice, cela ne fait aucun doute – mais la performance de Marilyn dans « Bus Stop » était bien plus riche, bien plus variée et bien plus intéressante que le personnage d'Ingrid Bergman dans « Anastasia ». De mon côté, j'ai été surpris d'avoir été nominé. Le studio aussi, en fait. Un jour, j'étais sur le tournage de « A Hatful of Rain » [1957], et l'un des responsables de la publicité s'est approché de moi. 'Toutes nos félicitations!' Je lui dis: 'Pourquoi ?' Il a dit: 'Vous avez été nominé pour un Oscar hier !' J'ai dit: 'Je le suis ??' 'Ouais! N'est-ce pas incroyable ? Vous avez été nominé et personne ne faisait pression pour vous ! C'était complètement spontané, c'est du jamais vu à Hollywood !' Ce fut donc une surprise totale pour nous tous."

"Sur le tournage de « Bus Stop », j'ai dit : 'Josh, pourquoi m'as-tu engagé ?' Il a dit: 'Parce que vous aviez une énergie sur scène que je veux voir ici.' Il a également dit: 'Maintenant, Don, Marilyn est une grande star, mais je veux que tu oublies totalement qu'elle est une star. Alors quand tu entreras sur le plateau, je veux que tu sois comme Attila le Hun. Je veux que tu reprennes la scène. Détruis les meubles si tu en as besoin [rires], fais n'importe quoi, je veux le cowboy le plus fou qui n'ait jamais vécu.' C'est donc ainsi qu'il a dirigé. Je n'y aurais jamais pensé moi-même, et chaque fois que quelqu'un me parlait de ma nomination, je me disais: 'Eh bien, celui qui devrait obtenir la nomination, c'est Josh Logan, car c'est plus sa performance que la mienne'".

"Marilyn se comportait comme une actrice, mais elle manquait beaucoup d'assurance, avait très peur de jouer devant la caméra, ce qui est étonnant. Elle était une immense star et si merveilleuse devant la caméra, mais c'est pour cela qu'elle était toujours en retard. Elle arrivait à peu près à l'heure au studio. Alors qu'elle était censée être là à 6h30 du matin, elle arrivait à 7h00 ou 7h30, mais elle restait ensuite dans sa loge jusqu'à dix ou onze heures. Elle ne voulait tout simplement pas venir sur le plateau. Très peu de gens le savent, parce que je ne me souviens pas avoir vu cela imprimé – nous avons fait une scène au lit, elle était en fait nue sous les draps et je pouvais voir son corps couvert de cette éruption rouge. Elle était tellement nerveuse, qu'elle avait cette éruption rouge cutanée et elle devait la couvrir avec du maquillage. Étant une si grande star, elle avait fait tellement de films, et pourtant, elle avait tellement peur. Mais elle prenait ce rôle très au sérieux; elle écoutait Josh Logan et suivait ses instructions. Sa coach Paula Strasberg était également sur le plateau. Elle entraînait Marilyn pour qu'elle joue le rôle. De nombreux réalisateurs ont eu du mal avec Paula sur le plateau, mais pour Josh, cela a bien fonctionné. Je pense qu'avec Paula, il a créé un personnage merveilleux."

Excerpts from an interview with Don Murray online on FilmTalk

"When I got into “Bus Stop,” I had only been back in the United States for less than a year. I had been living in Germany for a year, and in Italy for a year and a half. Marilyn was famous over there but not as famous as Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida. I had seen her in only one film, that was “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” [1953]. So I didn’t know that much about her, and when I was hired for “Bus Stop,” I was surprised about all the publicity we were getting. Wherever we went, there were always journalists and cameramen. It was very unusual to me because I didn’t know how much a big star she was at the time."

"I must say that I really admire her about the way that she cared enough about the art form of films to actually leave Hollywood at the height of her fame and not be content with just being a sex symbol. She wanted to be a real actress. When she left Hollywood for a year to study at the Actors Studio in New York, “Bus Stop” was her comeback film. And I thought she was magnificent in it, although she was always late on the set and she had a hard time remembering her lines. She also had a very short concentration span: she would start a scene and stop in the middle because she forgot her lines. So she had to do all her scenes in tiny, little pieces because she couldn’t sustain a scene all the way through. We never saw a complete scene with her. All the actors in the film came from the stage, like Hope Lange and I, Arthur O’Connell, Eileen Heckart—everyone in the film—so we were used to having a continuous performance and we would go to the rushes to see yesterday’s work. We would see all these little pieces, and we thought the film was going to be a disaster. However, the first time we saw it at a preview, all of a sudden we realized what the magic of films was, with the editing and cutting it all together; she was magnificent! I never understood why she was not nominated [for an Academy Award] for “Bus Stop.” It was won by Ingrid Bergman—a wonderful actress, there’s no question about that—but Marilyn’s performance in “Bus Stop” was so much richer, it had so much more variety and it was so much more interesting than Ingrid Bergman’s character in “Anastasia.” Meanwhile, I was surprised that I was nominated. So was the studio, in fact. One day I was on the set of “A Hatful of Rain” [1957], and one of the publicity heads came up to me. ‘Congratulations!’ I said, ‘For what?’ He said, ‘You were nominated for an Academy Award yesterday!’ I said, ‘I was??’ ‘Yeah! Isn’t that amazing? You got nominated, and nobody was pushing for you! It was complete spontaneous, that’s unheard of in Hollywood!’ So it was a total surprise to all of us."

"On the set of “Bus Stop,” I said, ‘Josh, why did you hire me?’ He said, ‘Because you had an energy on the stage that I want to see here.’ He also said, ‘Now Don, Marilyn is a big star, but I want you to totally forget about her being a star at all. So when you come on the set, I want you to be like Attila the Hun. I want you to take over the scene. Destroy the furniture if you need to [laughs], do anything, I want the wildest cowboy that ever lived.’ So that’s how he directed. I would never have thought of that myself, and whenever anyone talked to me about my nomination, I thought to myself, ‘Well, the one that should get the nomination, is Josh Logan, because it is more his performance than it is my own.’"

"Marilyn acted very much like an actress, but she was very insecure, very frightened of acting in front of the camera, which is amazing. She was this huge star and so wonderful before the camera, but that’s why she was always late. She would show up pretty much on time at the studio. When she was supposed to be there at 6:30 in the morning, she would arrive at 7:00 or 7:30, but then she would stay in her dressing room until ten or eleven o’clock. She just would not come out on the set. Very few people know this, because I don’t remember seeing this in print—we did a bed scene, she was actually naked under the sheets, and I could see her body covered with this red rash. She got so nervous that she’d break out with this red rash and she had to cover it with make-up. Being such a big star, she had done so many films, and yet, she was so frightened. But she took the part very seriously; she listened to Josh Logan, and took his directions. Her coach Paula Strasberg was also on the set. She was coaching Marilyn to do the role. A lot of directors had trouble with Paula being on the set, but for Josh it worked fine. I think together with Paula, he created a wonderful character."
