MARILYN MONROE SCRIPT FROM "SOME LIKE IT HOT"
United Artists, 1959
Marilyn's personally owned working script from arguably her best comedic role, that of the sweetly naive flapper named Sugar Kane. With a light blue cover initialed across the top margin in red wax pencil MMM (and also repeated on the title page) along with the typed notation reading Some Like It Hot/Screenplay by/Billy Wilder - I.A.L. Diamond and the production company address on the lower margin, this mimeographed script is one-hundred and twenty-two pages, has a title page and a list of characters with the actors playing them. All the pages preceeding Sugar's first appearance in the film are folded diagonally as MM didn't need to know the other actor's lines, but 'Sugar' appears circled in red wax pencil on the following fifty-four pages. Interestingly, this version of the script ends with a bellhop having the last word instead of Joe E. Brown's now famous "Well, nobody's perfect."
