==Background==
Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortensen on June 1, 1926) rose to fame with the 1953 film noir ''Niagara'', released by 20th Century Fox. Monroe had signed with Fox ''originally'' in 1947, and played bit parts in a few films, starring actors like Betty Grable, June Haver, Cary Grant, Peggy Cummins, and Jeanne Crain. When released from Fox, Monroe found work as yet again a bit player in films like ''Love Happy'' (1949), starring The Marx Brothers. She re-signed with Fox in 1950 and began playing small but meaningful roles in big-budgeted films like ''All About Eve'', starring Bette Davis. After several films, Fox gave Marilyn her biggest break with ''Niagara''. The film starred Monroe, Joseph Cotten, and Jean Peters. Monroe went on to make millions for Fox, starring in movies like ''Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'' (1953), ''How to Marry a Millionaire'' (1953), and ''River of No Return'' (1954).
Monroe's first flop in two years was ''There's No Business Like Show Business'', a musical co-starring Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Donald O'Connor, Mitzi Gaynor, and Johnnie Ray. This film's lavish production didn't overshadow the dragged plot line. However, Monroe re-gained her success with ''The Seven Year Itch'' in 1955, co-starring Tom Ewell and Evelyn Keyes. ''Seven Year Itch'' showcased the famous scene of Monroe's white dress being skyrocketed in the air by a subway grating. This film was a major success, as was Marilyn's next feature, ''Bus Stop'' (1956), which was her last film with Fox until 1960. However, Monroe's biggest success in a film was in 1959's ''Some Like It Hot'', a comedy co-starring Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
However, ''Marilyn'' only focuses on the films that Monroe made with 20th Century Fox, which excludes ''Some Like It Hot'', as it was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Monroe's last film with Fox was the 1960 romantic-musical comedy ''Let's Make Love'', also starring Yves Montand. In 1962, she signed on with Fox to remake a 1940 film called ''My Favorite Wife''. The film was re-titled ''Something's Got to Give'' and cast Monroe in the lead alongside Dean Martin, Cyd Charisse, Wally Cox, and Phil Silvers. Monroe died before the film's completion. In 1963, Fox recast ''Something's Got to Give'', with Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen, and re-titled the film to ''Move Over, Darling''.
