It's hard to go a whole conversation about Hollywood royalty over the generations without touching on Marilyn Monroe.
Perhaps the finest film she graced was Some Like It Hot, which is celebrating a joyous milestone on Sunday, March 29. Exactly 67 years ago, the Oscar-winning movie premiered in New York City, at Loew's newly renovated State Theatre — from then on becoming known as the Capitol Theatre.
Monroe, who died in 1962 at age 36, arrived at the Manhattan premiere on Broadway with her husband, playwright Arthur Miller.
Billy Wilder's renowned crime comedy film also starred Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, and ultimately received six Oscar nominations, with its sole win going to costume designer Orry-Kelly. In 1989, the Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Here's the film's synopsis, per Rotten Tomatoes: After witnessing a Mafia murder, slick saxophone player Joe (Curtis) and his long-suffering buddy, Jerry (Lemmon), improvise a quick plan to escape from Chicago with their lives. Disguising themselves as women, they join an all-female jazz band and hop a train bound for sunny Florida. While Joe pretends to be a millionaire to win the band's sexy singer, Sugar (Monroe), Jerry finds himself pursued by a real millionaire (Joe E. Brown) as things heat up and the mobsters close in.
In other Monroe news, her former Palm Springs home officially hit the market last month for $3.3 million, offering buyers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history in the California desert. Tucked within the celebrity-favored neighborhood of Vista Las Palmas in Palm Springs, the midcentury-modern residence reflects the glamour and escapism that defined Monroe’s era.
Though Monroe owned several properties throughout her lifetime, her Palm Springs retreat — often referred to as the “Marilyn Monroe Doll House” — has long captured the imagination of fans.
