Marilyn Monroe’s Script with Handwritten Notes Sells for $25k

Monroe scriptOn Thursday, Marilyn Monroe’s script for her final movie, “Something’s Got to Give,” sold for $25,000. The script contained Monroe’s handwritten notes on how to nail her lines for the role. Eventually, in 1962, she was famously fired from the romantic comedy, which co-starred Dean Martin, for being disruptive. Monroe died two months later. After her death, the film was never completed because Martin refused to finish the film without his original leading lady.
