It was today in 1956 when Monroe gathered with Sir Laurence Olivier in front of a room of reporters to announce the making of The Prince and the Showgirl (guess who played the showgirl). It was partway through the announcement when – whoops! – the strap on Monroe’s dress snapped! Well, photographers just went wild. I mean, how embarrassing, right?
Wrong.
Photographer Eve Arnold, who worked with Monroe numerous times, reports that during the appearance, Monroe leaned over to her and said, “Just watch me!” before snapping her shoulder strap herself. Nothing sells better than sex and no one sold sex better than Marilyn.
Eat your heart out, Paris.
