Marilyn Monroe's Reshoot Photos: Behind the Scenes

0:00It's April 20th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered and star driven. Never before seen photos just dropped, showing Marilyn Monroe reshooting her legendary wide dress scene from the 7-year-ich. That iconic moment from 1955, where her skirt billows up over a subway grate, got recreated on a Hollywood soundstage after the original New York shoot turned into total mayhem. First take on 52nd Street and Lexington Avenue drew thousands of fans, stopping traffic and ruining the audio with all the noise. Studio heads at 20th Century Fox had no choice but to bring her back to the lot weeks later, for a clean redo, captured by photographer Bruno. Bernard, her old friend from her modeling days. Word is, the scene hit too close to home for her husband, baseball star Joe DiMaggio. He showed up that night, hated the crowd's cat calls and stormed off furious. It sparked a huge fight, and soon after she got back to LA, Monroe filed for divorce just eight months into the marriage.

1:03These fresh images come from Bernard's lens during the reshoots, showing Monroe nailing take after take up to 40 times under director Billy. Wilders watch, with her acting coach right there coaching every per and pose. It's all detailed in the new book, The Marilyn Monroe Century, co-written by Bernard's grandson and a film expert. That breeze may have blown up more than just a skirt. I marked a turning point in her life and cemented her as cinema's ultimate icon, with these picks. Keeping the story alive decades later.
