TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Marilyn Monroe, who had seen and loved Kim Stanley's performance in the Broadway production of "Bus Stop", patterned her accent on Stanley's, as well as those accents she had heard during her own time in the South. Monroe worked diligently on the hillbilly twang, speaking quite differently than in her other movies, and subverted her natural singing talent to make it painfully clear that Chérie was not gifted in that department.

Don Murray has said that Marilyn Monroe was actually naked under her sheets because she thought that her character would really have been naked.

Marilyn Monroe objected to the color of Hope Lange's hair, claiming that it was too fair and detracted from her own. As a result, Lange's hair was darkened.

Marilyn Monroe played Cherie, a role that Kim Stanley originated on Broadway. Some critics pointed out that Monroe's performance was an inflection-for-inflection recreation of Stanley's. Two years later, Stanley played a thinly-veiled version of Monroe in The Goddess (1958).

Don Murray suffered painful facial cuts when Marilyn Monroe overdid a scene in which she had to slap him with the sequined tail of her costume.

Popular Dialogues

"Cherie: I hate you and I despise you! Now give me back my tail!"

"Cherie: I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me, aside from all that lovin' stuff."
