Marilyn appeared introspective in this candid shot in her New York hotel room. Her fame was unprecedented and she became an instantly recognizable symbol of beauty. Woodstock, NY: Overlook Press, She was determined to never go through that again. These afflictions caused her removal from a subsequent film, Something's Got to Give , and she died two months later of a drug overdose. But by then she was disillusioned with her success and bored with her "dumb blond" image. She prolly killed herself because she was probably stress overwhelmed or prolly felt like she wasting loved. That fact that she committed suicide is beyond comprehension. She proved her skill by winning various honors and attracting large audiences to her films. The affair served only to pinpoint the troubles in her marriage to Miller, with whom she had little more than a professional relationship by For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.

  • Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release June 1990 Twentieth Century Fox: 1935-1965 July 1 - September 11, 1990 This summer, The Museum of Modern Art pays tribute to Twentieth Century Fox with a retrospective of over ninety films made between 1935 and 1965. Opening on July 1, 1990, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX: 1935-1965 traces three key decades in the history of the studio, celebrating the talents of the artists on both sides of the cameras who shaped this period. The exhibition continues through September 11. Formed in 1915, the Fox Film Corporation merged in 1935 with the much younger Twentieth Century to launch a major new studio. Under the supervision of Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century Fox developed a new house style, emphasizing epic biographies such as John Ford's The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) and Allan Dwan's Suez (1938) and snappy urban pictures such as Sidney Lanfield's Hake Up and Live (1937) and Roy Del Ruth's Thanks a Million (1935). The studio also featured such fresh screen personalities as Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Shirley Temple. From this time on, the studio masterfully anticipated and shaped the tastes of the movie-going public. During World War II, Twentieth Century Fox made its mark with a series of exuberant Technicolor musicals featuring such actresses as Betty Grable and Carmen Miranda. After the war, the studio shifted focus and began to highlight other genres including films noirs such as Edmund Goulding's Nightmare Alley (1947) and Otto Preminger's Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950), wry satirical films such as Joseph L.

MUSIC: Brass fanfare WENDELL NILES: From the Hollywood Canteen, "The Pepsodent Show" starring Bob Hope and his guest star, Bette Davis!

Well, here we are back in Hollywood and you should have seen the reception I got at the railroad station. What a crowd.

And he said, "No, I'm a cab driver without tires." ...
