Marilyn Monroe's Iconic Skirt Scene: Unseen Photos

0:00On April 20th, that iconic skirt-blowing scene for Marilyn Monroe and the seven-year itch back in 1955 is pure cinema legend. Now, a new book called the Marilyn Monroe Century by photographer Bruno Bernard and others drops May 19th, packed with never-before-seen photos. From the Hollywood reshoots, the original shoot hit New York City Streets at 52nd in Lexington, drawing thousands of fans and ruining the audio with all the noise. So, they moved it to a quiet soundstage at 20th Century Fox weeks later. Bernard Newman rose since she was a 19-year-old model in 1945, both orphans chasing Hollywood dreams over burgers on Sunset, Boulevard. Meanwhile, her new husband, Joe DiMaggio, fumed watching the first take, sparking fights that ended their eight-month marriage right after. Onset, director Billy Wilder pushed for over 40 takes, with Monroe's acting coach Natasha Leiteus, coaching her line-by-line amid the fans, and nerves, turning tension into that perfect, breezy performance we all remember.
