Although it’s very difficult to get all the exact details as her make-up artist never betrayed her secrets, it’s fun to talk about the different tricks and details of Marilyn’s make-up.

After seeing the film, Constance Bennett reportedly quipped, “There’s a broad with her future behind her.” Whitey Snyder also commented that it was during preparation for this film, after much experimentation … Video Rating: 4 / 5
