Trio: Marilyn Monroe

‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ (1957)

“My Week With Marilyn” depicts the making of “Showgirl,” which costarred Monroe with Laurence Olivier, who famously told her: “All you have to do is be sexy, dear Marilyn.”

‘The Misfits’ (1961)

The last feature completed by Monroe and costar Clark Gable was a box-office flop but was critically acclaimed.

‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ (1953)

One of Monroe’s best-remembered films featured Monroe’s performance of the song often associated with the blond bombshell, “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
