Marilyn Monroe’s Bold Move: Going n^de in Last Film ‘Something’s Got to Give,’ According to Photographer

Lawrence Schiller, a renowned photojournalist, is paying tribute to on what would have been her 94th birthday.

Schiller, who was present on the set of Monroe's final unfinished film, “Something's Got to Give,” reveals that the iconic actress had a daring idea for a scene in which she emerges from a pool wearing nothing but her bare skin.

Schiller is collaborating with New Orleans-based antique dealer M.S.

Rau to release limited edition photos he captured during the shoot.

Monroe, known as America's most famous s** symbol, passed away at the age of 36 in 1962 due to a barbiturate overdose.

Reflecting on his time with Monroe, Schiller recalls a conversation they had in her house, where she sought his opinion on a scene in which she was supposed to be in a swimming pool wearing a bathing suit that would create the illusion of nudity.

Monroe then asked Schiller what would happen if she jumped into the pool with the bathing suit on but came out without any clothes.

Schiller responded humorously, expressing concern about becoming famous due to the scandalous images.

However, Monroe assured him that she wouldn't fire him.

She revealed her motivation for the bold move was to overshadow her Hollywood rival, , who was filming “Cleopatra” in Rome and earning a million-dollar salary.

Monroe wanted her n^de pool scene to grace magazine covers, ensuring that Taylor wouldn't appear in the same issue.

Contrary to popular belief, Monroe was not just a “dumb blonde.”

Schiller admires her business acumen and how well she directed herself on set.

Despite her reputation for lateness and forgetfulness, Monroe was determined to prove her worth in Hollywood.

She struggled with personal issues, including addiction and health problems, but still wanted to show Hollywood that she was a valuable actress.

Unfortunately, the studio and production team lacked sympathy for Monroe's struggles.

She was fired from the film just months before her death.

Schiller vividly remembers his last encounter with Monroe, where she expressed frustration about being objectified by others solely for her body.

The next morning, he received the devastating news of Monroe's passing.

Schiller believes that the photos he took during that time serve as a reflection of a bygone era.

They not only capture Monroe's beauty but also represent a different period in American and world history.

He praises the entertainment industry of that time, noting that while there have been fine films in recent years, the greatness of the past seems unparalleled.

Monroe's legacy lives on through these iconic images, showcasing her talent, intellect, and determination to be taken seriously in Hollywood.
