Extraits du journal de Bruno Bernard:
- Le magazine Redbook engagea Bruno Bernard pour couvrir le tournage de Marilyn dans The Seven Year Itch.
- New York - 14/09/1954. Si cela n'avait pas été pour mon travail (la couverture de Redbook) et Marilyn, dix chevaux ne m'auraient pas traîné sur le tournage de Seven year Itch. Zut. J'ai attendu trois heures au milieu des odeurs transpiration et des cris de la foule et d'une bande de paparazzis (...). Soudain, la foule a poussé un formidable hurlement. Marilyn apparaissait en chair et en os. Lorsque Billy Wilder, le metteur en scène, a dit "On tourne", Marilyn est sortie du théâtre, a fait quatre pas sur la gauche avant de s'arrêter juste au-dessus d'une grille d'aération. A ce moment précis, on doit imaginer qu'un métro quitte la station, l'air qu'il déplace soulevant la jupe de Marilyn. Pour mieux contrôler l'action, les accessoiristes ont disposé un ventilateur directement sous la grille. Dans certaines prises, la jupe blanche de Marilyn s'est soulevée au point de lui couvrir le visage, à la grande joie des spectateurs hystériques. D'après le scénario, Marilyn doit simplement dire: "Ah, quel soulagement ! N'est-ce pas délicieux ?!" tandis qu'elle prend plaisir à sentir cet air frais.
La scène a été refaite trente fois parce que Marilyn se trompait à chaque fois dans son texte. Sous sa robe, elle ne portait qu'une petite culotte de soie blanche transparente. (...) DiMaggio, qui se trouvait juste en face de moi et près de walter Winchell, regardait le spectacle. Je me rendais nettement compte que la gêne de DiMaggio tournait à la fureur. Je me frayais rapidement un chemin à travers la foule, dans l'espoir de le calmer. Mais, avant que je n'arrive près de lui, il avait déjà quitté les lieux très en colère. Winchell (...) m'a dit que DiMaggio était parti "apaiser son tempérament de macho italien au Toot's Shor's". Roy Croft nous rejoignit: "Nous devrions plutôt nous réjouir qu'elle porte au moins quelque chose dessous".
L'absence de DiMaggio ne la troubla pas, et la déesse de l'amour poursuivit ses interminables prises devant son public new-yorkais extasié.
- J'ai vraiment besoin de faire ces photos de Joe et Marilyn pour boucler mon article. Depuis le couloir de leur appartement du Saint Regis, je peux entendre les éclats d'une querelle passionnée suivie par des pleurs hystériques. Je suis parti et je n'ai pas fait mes photos. (...) J'étais abbatu et silencieux. Rencontrant Roy dans l'ascenceur, il tenta de me consoler: "Tout n'est pas perdu. Comme il y avait trop de bruits de fond en extérieur, Wilder a décidé de refaire toute la scène à Hollywood."

30/03/1955 Ringling Brothers Circus
Action Caritative
La soirée du 30 mars 1955: Marilyn Monroe participa à la grande cérémonie de bienfaisance organisée par Mike Todd et son cirque (Ringling Brothers Circus) dont les bénéfices étaient reversés à une fondation qui lutte contre l'arthrose et les affections rhumatismales.
C'était la première apparition en publique de Marilyn depuis son départ de Los Angeles. Le contrat de la Fox lui interdisait la participation à des spectacles rémunérés, mais les soirées de bienfaisance n'entraient pas dans cette catégorie.
Marilyn se rendit de son hôtel au Madison Square Garden en limousine avec Dick Sheperd (qui était alors agent au département cinéma de MCA à New York). Elle réussit à se faufiler dans les couloirs de l'établissement, gagna sa loge et put s'habiller dans le calme relatif.
The evening of March 30, 1955: Marilyn Monroe participated to the great charity ceremony organised by Mike Todd and his circus (Ringling Brothers Circus) to benefit the Arthritis Foundation and Rhumastismales disorders.
It was the first public appearance of Marilyn since her departure from Los Angeles. Fox's contract forbade participation in paid shows, but charity evenings did not fall into this category.
Marilyn was accompanied by Dick Shepperd for the trip from the hotel to Madison and photographed by Ed Feingersh. She managed to sneak into the corridors of the school, won his lodge and could dress in relative calm.
> Marilyn et Dick Sheperd (photos de Ed Feingersh)
Dans les coulisses, Marilyn s'est préparée, soutenue par Milton Berle et la jeune Alice Fitzpatrick; Milton Greene et Peter Leonardi (son secrétaire et coiffeur à cette époque) sont aussi présents, dans l'ombre. Elle lui dédicacera une des photos de la soirée (voir ci-contre).
Behind the scenes, Marilyn prepared, supported by Milton Berle, the young Alice Fitzpatrick; but also Milton Greene and Peter Leonardi (his secretary and hairdresser at the time) who were also presents in the shadows. She will dedicate him one of the photos of the evening.

Le grand show, qui se tient au Madison Square Garden à New York, était présenté par Milton Berle, qui officiait en tant que "Monsieur Loyal", le 'maître de cérémonie', et qui présente Marilyn en ces termes: "Voici la seule femme au monde à côté de qui Jane Russell ressemble à un homme!", provoquant l'hilarité dans la foule. Plus de 25 000 spectateurs étaient présents; ils avaient payer 50 dollars leurs places; dont Joe DiMaggio, l'ex-époux de Marilyn.
Dans la salle, deux cents photographes s'arrachaient les meilleures places (Ed Feingersh, Milton Greene, Marvin Scott, Walter Carone, Weegee, Sam Goldstein, Erika Stone...). Lorsqu'enfin elle entra en scène, Milton Berle dut leur demander de s'accroupir pour ne pas gêner les autres spectateurs. Marilyn Monroe fit une entrée triomphale, juchée sur le dos d'un éléphant indien peint en rose, nommé Karnaudi (ou Kinardy), appartenant au cirque Barnum & Bailey. Elle déclarera plus tard: "C'était très important pour moi, je n'étais jamais allée au cirque quand j'étais enfant."
The big show, which held at the Madison Square Garden in New York, was presented by Milton Berle, who was the "Master of the Ceremony". More than 25,000 spectators were presents, including Joe DiMaggio in the stands; and two hundred photographers snatched the best seats (Ed Feingersh, Milton Greene, Marvin Scott, Walter Carone, Weegee, Sam Goldstein, Erika Stone...). When finally she came on the stage, Milton Berle, had to ask them to squat to not to interfere with other spectators. Marilyn Monroe made a triumphal entrance, perched on the back of an indian elephant painted pink, named Karnaudi (or Kinardy) and belonging to the Barnum & Bailey circus.
Le magazine Variety écrivit: "Marilyn Monroe juchée sur un pachyderme peint en rose fut le clou de la soirée. Malheureusement, les photographes agglutinés autour de la star à demie nue l'empêchaient d'avancer. On put difficilement admirer les charmes de Miss Monroe, mais en définitive, la foule ne s'était déplacée pas pour rien." Les autres stars présentes furent toute au plus citées.
Variety Magazine said: "Marilyn Monroe perched on an elephant painted pink was the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, photographers clustered around the half naked star prevented her from advancing. We could hardly see the charms of Miss Monroe, but ultimately, the crowd had not moved for nothing. "Other present stars have not been mentionned.

Elle porte un tailleur moulant avec un gros noeud, une tenue qu'elle a emprunté aux studios, qu'elle avait porté dans There's no business like show business (La joyeuse parade) dont le tournage venait à peine de se terminer.

1/06/1955 Première The Seven Year Itch
Le 1er juin 1955, a lieu la première du film The Seven Year Itch (Sept ans de réflexion) au Loew's State Theater à Times Square, New York. Pour célébrer l'événement, une immense pancarte de seize mètres de hauteur est affichée devant le théâtre, représentant Marilyn avec sa robe blanche qui virevolte, qui reste l'une des plus célèbres scènes du cinéma. Les journalistes ont à leur tour interviewé les passants pour leur demander leur avis: certains new-yorkais étaient agréablement surpris ("I think it's correct!", "I think it's very nice!", "I think it's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful !"), alors que d'autres jugeaient cette photo de Marilyn indécente! Pour la soirée de la première, Marilyn Monroe est accompagnée de son ex-mari Joe DiMaggio, avec qui elle vient pourtant de divorcer. D'autres personnalités étaient présentes: Grace Kelly, Henry Fonda, Tyrone Power, Margaret Truman, Eddie Fisher, Judy Holliday et Richard Rodgers; ainsi que plus de 3000 fans et des journalistes de la presse et de la télévision. l'arrivée de Marilyn et de Joe a même été filmée pour figurer dans les news des cinémas.

Ce jour était aussi celui de l'anniversaire de Marilyn, qui fêtait ses vingt-neuf ans. Joe organisa une soirée au restaurant Toots Shor's, après la représenation du film. Mais angoissée par son désir de reconnaissance de Lee Srasberg, avec qui elle a suivi des cours à l'Actor's Studio, Marilyn était nerveuse et se disputa avec Joe. Elle quitta la réception et le photographe Sam Shaw la raccompagna.
