Something's Got to Give, 1962 incomplete [* * *]



This is her unfinished movie she died 2 weeks later. She was fired and later rehired for her inability to show up for work, and when she showed up, she usually couldn't remember a single line.

You can see she's at the peak of her physical beauty (she does a nude swimming scene ...:o), but mentally and emotionally she's exhausted. Sleep deprivation, drugs to help her sleep and stay awake, alcohol and depression had taken over. By this time her personal life in shambles. Either that or she wanted to get out of the slave-contract she was on without much fuss.

Marilyn was nearing 40, and could see the end of her career. Well worth watching the remastered version - she even flubs her lines so prettily. lol.:)
