Marilyn Monroe in a still from Ladies of the Chorus.
“Ladies of the Chorus was shot in only ten days. Marilyn told reporters later that when the movie was released, she was so excited that she drove past the theater several times to see her name on the marquee. She wished that it said ‘Norma Jean’ rather than ‘Marilyn Monroe’, so that all the people who had ignored her in the past could see it.”
