Marilyn Monroe’s personal copy of the unfinished 1962 film ”Something’s Got to Give,” abandoned after the star’s untimely death in 1962. In fact, most of the film’s completed footage remained unseen for many years. Monroe notoriously had missed a slew of shooting days due to a ”sinus infection” that disappeared at night, when she was photographed about town. This infuriated director George Cukor, and Twentieth Century-Fox went so far as to fire her on 11 June 1962 for missing 17 of the 30 shooting days. But, when co-star Dean Martin countered with, ”No Marilyn, no picture”, the studio relented and took her back, though she sadly died less than two months later.

Spine of script has the film’s title printed in black lettering with the date ”March 29, 1962.” Cover has ”Final / Confidential / For Planning Purposes Only” printed on it, as well as, ”Something’s Got to Give / March 29, 1962” and ”Property of / Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation” imprinted with the studio logo.

A fascinating peek inside Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe’s creative process. Heavily annotated in her own hand, this 149-page screenplay from Monroe’s last and unfinished film, 1962’s ”Something’s Got To Give”, reveals Monroe as an actor who took deep care in finding the meaning behind each line of dialogue and her character’s motivations throughout the script. Monroe’s handwritten pencil notes begin with her character’s (Ellen Wagstaff Arden) introduction in the script on page 12 and carry through to the end on page 149, even including notes on the verso of the last page and back cover, such as a note reading, ”Joke writers Mel Brooks / Herb Gardner / Need spice / raisins / Need some funny lines”. There are notes in Monroe’s hand on approximately 42 pages in the script, ranging from simple dialogue corrections and changes to in-depth sense memory notes when doing a scene that required a deeper emotional connection and understanding. Regarding her character’s introduction, as she interacts with naval personnel who saved her after being marooned on an island for five years, Monroe writes, ”1 – Gayity [sic] 2 – Excitement 3 – Then Dazed”. In one scene, Monroe references Arthur Miller’s children to better help her relate to her character’s children, ”Bobby M. / and early Janie / except their [sic] mine.” Throughout the script, Monroe writes succinct dialogue and character notes: ”Stunned / Dazed – sky high with adventure”, ”dead pan/I really don’t know”, ”anticipating the joys”, ”Trying to think or remember”, ”start to wonder what’s from now on”, ”I don’t know he knows”, ”easy/very intimate/very real”, ”[L]et me get into something more comfortable / leading him on -”. Included is a small card with call times and scenes to be shot, and a small scrap of paper with a note in Monroe’s hand wondering why they are shooting out of sequence, as well as notes about using Miss vs. Mrs. Script measures 9.5” x 11.5”. Worn from use by Monroe, but with pages present and intact. Overall very good condition. Sold for $25,000.
