Photographer Unveils Marilyn Monroe’s Revealing Scenes in Something’s Got to Give

Lawrence Schiller, the photographer behind Marilyn Monroe's famous n^de photoshoot for Something's Got to Give, has shared details about the raunchy scenes in a documentary exploring her downfall.

In May 1962, Schiller was hired to capture moments on-set with the blonde bombshell.

The revelations came to light in part two of Fox News Channel's documentary series Scandalous: The Death of Marilyn Monroe, which aired on Sunday and delved into the events leading up to her untimely death.

During the time of the photoshoot, Monroe was engaged in a fierce competition with Elizabeth Taylor, who was filming Cleopatra, to dominate newspaper headlines.

Although Monroe was working on Something's Got to Give, she was worried that the script wouldn't help her surpass Taylor.

Desperate for a hit, she decided to use her body.

According to Schiller, Monroe suggested the idea of going into the swimming pool with her bathing suit on and coming out with nothing.

As the filming progressed, Monroe would gradually remove more of her costume, eventually discarding her panties.

Schiller estimated that around 90 percent of the cameramen were unaware of the saucy scenes unfolding before them.

One iconic shot captured Monroe as she approached the poolside, flipping her right leg over the edge.

The photograph displayed Monroe with a mischievous and shocked expression, creating an image that spoke volumes.

Schiller's daughter later described it as a picture that showed nothing but said everything.

Throughout the shoot, Monroe also posed suggestively in the water and on the poolside, strategically covering select parts of her body with a blue towel.

At one point, she even posed t0pless, using her hands to shield herself from the camera while wearing a playful smile.

This particular photoshoot marked Monroe's final appearance on set before her tragic death on August 5, 1962.

Something's Got to Give was eventually abandoned and later re-filmed under the new title Move Over, Darling, releasing the following year.

Monroe's time on set was tumultuous, with her only showing up for 12 out of 33 shooting days.

The documentary reveals that 20th Century Fox grew increasingly frustrated with Monroe's constant tardiness, with her absences costing the studio significant amounts of money.

Additionally, Monroe took a day off during filming to sing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden.

This further strained the already tense relationship between Monroe and the studio, which was struggling financially.

A week after celebrating her 36th birthday on June 8, 1962, Monroe was photographed by Schiller on set.

Little did she know that this would be her last day working on the production, as she was soon fired.

Schiller believes this event may have marked the end of Monroe's career.

The documentary also unveiled never-before-seen photos of Monroe's n^ked body, taken after her death.

These images had remained hidden for nearly six decades.

Devik Wiener, the son of renowned photographer Leigh Wiener, shared an interview discussing how his father managed to bribe his way into the coroner's quarters shortly after Monroe's passing.

Scandalous: The Death of Marilyn Monroe premiered last week, providing a glimpse into the life and demise of the Hollywood icon.

The extended director's cut version, featuring additional footage, will be available on FNC's streaming service FOX Nation starting on August 25.
