She was so young and pretty, so shy and nervous on that picture, but I remember the scene where she was supposed to be sunning in the backyard of the apartment house we all live in. When Marilyn walked on the set in her bathing suit, the whole crew gasped, gaped, and seemed to turn to stone. They just stopped work and stared; Marilyn had that electric something - and mind you, movie crews are quite used to seeing us in brief costumes. But they just gasped and gaped at Marilyn as though they were stunned. In all my years at the studio, I’d never seen that happen before.

You’re going to die. You’re going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we’re just going to be gone. The world’s going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

Best quote I’ve heard in a very long time.
