It's weird to watch "The Misfits" now. (TCM)

And know that Clark Gable died following the last day of filming
It was also the last film of Marilyn Monroe.

"On the last day of filming, Clark Gable said regarding Marilyn Monroe, "Christ, I'm glad this picture's finished. She damn near gave me a heart attack." On the next day, Gable suffered a severe coronary thrombosis. He died in hospital from a heart attack just ten days later."

"This was the last completed film for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. Gable died of a heart attack and Monroe died of an alleged drug overdose a year later. (Note: While Something's Got to Give is listed as her last film, it was never completed because she was fired.)"

1. Billy Wilder had a hard time with her in "Some Like It Hot" He even

wrote in a special character making fun of Marilyn in "The Apartment".

Billy wrote some great scripts.

3. Hard as in keeping her from being a diva

or hard as in keeping her sober?

4. I think it had to do with her being late to the set, holding up production.

I remember Tony Curtis talking about that in a TCM interview I saw. It annoyed him, too.

2. Misfits was playing on his TV when Montgomery Clift died.
