Marilyn Monroe photographed by Carlyle Blackwell, 1952.Here’s an interesting excerpt from the Oakland Tribune, written by Wood Soanes on April 27th, 1952 —“I’d like to go on the stage. I think that I’d learn more about acting there than I can in the studio; and if I am going on in this business I have to learn how to act,” she told him.At the end of the article, Soanes wrote:It was her work in “Asphalt Jungle” under the direction of John Houston, that turned the trick. A good role in “All About Eve” followed, and then came 1951 with four pictures in succession, “As Young as You Feel,” “Let’s Make it Legal,” “Love Nest,” and “Clash by Night.” So far in 1952 she has a backlog of “We’re Not Married,” “The Full House,” “Don’t Bother to Knock,” and “Monkey Business” with “Niagara” and “The Greeks Had a Word for It,” to follow.There doesn’t seem to be much time for any stage work this semester, but if Miss Monroe can get the studio’s permission – she’s under contract to 20th-Fox again – and can find a summer stock job, she’s available. Meantime, marriage is not in the offing no matter what the gossip columnists say about Charlie Chaplin Jr. and Joe DiMaggio Miss Monroe is too busy carving a career to let a little matter like romance come between her and her goal.After all, she has been plugging along for quite a while now and, with success in her grasp, it would be foolish to get sidetracked.——(The Greeks Had a Word for It was the original title for How to Marry a Millionaire!) -- source link
