The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day shakes me! It quakes me! It makes me feel goose-pimply all over!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
I said yesterday that today’s pic would show what I’m thankful for. I know the immediate thought upon seeing the below pic is that I’m a perv and thankful we had such a beautiful woman grace this mortal world… all that’s true, of course, but it’s also for this specific moment, the two people in this moment… this is a shot that took someone from being a star to being immortal.
The picture is THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, the players in this captured moment in history are Marilyn Monroe and director Billy Wilder. The scene you should know even if you haven’t seen the movie.
I’m thankful for the output of these two and for this particular moment in being one of the indentifiers of an industry that holds my heart and imagination.
Hope you guys enjoy the pic. I’m sure most of you will. heh
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody (yes, even my foreign friends who may be reading!) Tomorrow’s pic features a crazy director and someone named ugly.

I can't believe nothing has been posted on this site about the recent Ghostbuster 3 happenings.
-
There, I said it.
-
Greatest.Director.Ever.?
-
Did you see that one coming? <p> Without a link, it's just a rumour.
-
Thanks Quint great pic.
-
Hathaway rumor? she is fine,as long as she has a hood on her head during the movie.
-
rumor for the new Supes flick.the only rumor i read two days ago,was that Hardy is playing Hugo Strange and that story of the new movie will be based on the Prey arc of the Legends of the DK comic series.which is possible since the story from that comic arc fits the story continuation of the new film. <p>but you said about the casting.did we have developments on that?
-
But the quote is from 'Some Like It Hot' and not The Seven Year Itch'. I'm sure you knew that, right? I mean, you DO know the difference between the movies, right? No, but really...
-
or so I've heard.
-
He just got whiff of rotten fish.
-
got a good upskirt look
-
A friend was discussing that fellas role in Wall Street 2 the other day, and as hes been watching Studio 60 that role too of the old showrunner (that was him right?) I was about to explain that i knew he was familiar (from WS2) from somewhere, and other than Studio 60, when he interjected & told me that blatently those were roles this old aspiring actor had finally made it with. I kept my mouth shut. Now i feel bad....perhaps he was testing me?

I would take vintage Marilyn over any of cinemas hotties today.
by V'Shael
Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, whatever. Monroe was the pinnacle.
-
-Marilyn Monroe -Marilyn Monroe? Too corny.
-
Is that what you meant?
-
Marilyn Monroe was absolutely gorgeous! 'Nuff said!
-
...but I wish someone had trained a camera on Joe DiMaggio, who was apparently watching the filming of this scene from the sidelines, and going into a rage.
-
Different folks, different strokes.
-
... and make the movie all gay, like he usually does.
-
she isnt someone I would want to fuck, she is simply not attractive she is easily loses when compared to today's hot women, be it models, actress, pornstars or your local slut. I think its her personality or charms that made people like her, however its safe to say that she was dumb, britany spears/jessica simpson dumb. Btw Monroe's face looks like jessica simpson's (YIKES!). Anyway she was clearly not bright, but men at that time were fine with that.
-
Sexiest woman ever. Don't care what you haters say.
-
This column is 70% of the reason I visit this site. So many of the other articles either interest me or they don't. Yours I actively seek out and become irritated when I think its late.
-
There was never and can never be a more beautiful woman. It's not the legs or the boobs or the hourglass or the lips. It's the vulnerability. You don't just want to fuck Marilyn. You want to protect her from the world.
-
The media hyped her big time back then. Shes a nobody in reality, shes not hot or even sexy. Shes kinda overweight, chubby- waist and thighs, arms. she was on drugs and smoked alot, it shows. And her face needs no description, its not something a man would want, lets just say that. I bet alot here have a much hotter girlfriends or wives so stop ogling at Monroe as if shes a higher standard to aim for.
-
What the fuck do you care if people like Marilyn. You weird misogynistic bastard.
-
the ones that get the biggest push and the ones constantly in the spotlight are usually not the brightest and are really not that great like Megan Fox, lady gaga, etc. Those with real talent stick around. Those who don't have it burn out.
-
.... Yum!

-
"however its safe to say that she was dumb" <p> No it isn't.
-
It should be obvious his taste is somewhere up beyond his colon. <br /><br />
-
you know, the new ones. we see Monroe as a over-glorified hack pumped up by nostalgia. time to take out the garbage from history and set things straight. ps. elvis was not the king of rock, king of vegas maybe.
-
I'm not "Imperium"
-
give me Rhonda Fleming, Cyd Charisse, Gene Tierney . . . And Marilyn was gorgeous.
-
in The Big Sleep.
-
"I speak for my generation".<p> That statement is incredibly insulting to your peers. Do you really think that you're moronic opinion represents that of the general populace? I don't think that this generation (or any) would prefer to be associated with an callow, pompous adolescent.
-
...and before you call the Grammar Police I realize that it's "your" and not "you're".
-
With Marilyn, helping her find a house. Name of Bill Rotsler. Great guy, unfortunately gone now. Anyway, he said that she could turn her sex appeal on and off like a friggin' laser. If she thought you could do something for her career, BOOM! She would fry you with it. If you were just normal people, she switched it off. And that for about ten seconds she thought HE could help her career, and it was the most interesting ten seconds of his life...
-
Not scrawny, greasy skanks like Megan Fox.
-
shes the reason plastic surgery was invented and liposuction
-
it was probably her flirty personality in front of the spotlight that got peoples attention. but thats it.
-
Can't believe that everyone else doesn't share his opinion, instead of going "Hmm, everyone disagrees with me? Just maybe I'm wrong then..."

So tomorrow's pic is from Nickelodeon's SALUTE YOUR SHORTS?
by Tigger Tales
-
If a woman that was even relatively as attractive as Marilyn Monore asked you to have sex it would be over before you got your dick out of your pants. But it's not like that would happen...or ever has.
-

she made a porno lets see you guys jerk off to it
by DioxholsterImperium
you wont and i know why. she aint hot. she doesnt look bored though i would give her that, so the drugs didnt affect her cheerful persona.
-
is the best from everyone involved. Incredible movie.
-
Is the granny fro. So many nanas out there with that hair style.
-
Oh, it's just Norma Jean standing on the air grate again.
-
A time when men were men and women were women.
-
No movie star/sex symbol since has been able to replicate what Monroe had. Certainly none from DioxholsterImperium's generation. This is why Marilyn is still huge 50 years on; do you really think Megan Fox et al. will be?
-
Coke has been the Hollywood drug of choice dating back to the silent days, and it's probably safe to say that most in Hollywood do/have done it. And JFK had a pretty good batting average in his Hollywood days - allegedly bedding Gloria Swanson, Sophia Loren, Lee Remick, Gene Tierney, Angie Dickinson, Marlene Dietrich and Jayne Mansfield. There were rumours that he had Audrey Hepburn too. So Marilyn was in good company!
-
no its because celebrates have been exposed for what they truly are, a waste of space. Monroe died before the glamor veil was lifted off her. And the public realized that they are people like us with major flaws and they aint naturally pretty and have plastic surgery. You want today's sex symbol? tough luck, with the advent of porn and influx of sex mags, any mystery women possessed quickly faded away from the limelight. However, if i had to pick one it would be anglina jolie, shes major uglo in my opinion but around the world she is respected as such thanks.
-
But you're forgetting that the public at large are familiar with Monroe's many, many problems that plagued her personal life, and yet she still retains interest. Her onscreen life was glamourous, offscreen quite pathetic. But she is *still* regarded as the greatest female sex symbol/screen icon Hollywood produced. The body of work she left behind is surprisingly good too.
-
She's not just the sexiest woman of all time, but look at her... she cute as a button as well. What a combination!!
-
Don't know about him, but there are stories about Santa ;)
-
whatever jerk off to monroe while i jerk off to this: <p> http://bit.ly/cX575g <p> peace out
-
"After All These Years." Check it out.
-
Was not just her looks and her voluptuous body -which both admittedly were fading by late in her career - although she was still amazing, but it was her personality. <p> Other actresses at the time were even more beautiful - Elizabeth Taylor comes immediately to mind. <p> But Taylor never seemed as accessible as Monroe. <p> Perhaps it was that Monroe did light comedies and never really stretched as an actress or that she wore her vulnerabilities out in the open, but that combined with an undeniable sexually supercharged personality and body made her iconic. <p>
-
Sooooooooooooo much hotter.
-
Sophia Loren, Ann-Margret, Stella Stevens, Raquel Welch...all still lovely.

Boney legs for a fat chick...
by HarryKnowlesNonExistentInceptionReview
...just sayin'.
-
however, the primary reason she is remembered is because she died young. not saying she wouldn't have been remembered, but the tragedy adds weight to the memory. frank's a HEDY LAMARR type. way too many blondes out there
-
she was natural brunette. <p>her blonde hair was a result of the Media/Consumer Industry's process to transform her into a manufactured idol aka selling product. <p>not that she didnt deserve her popularity and her declaration as a sex symbol and the iconic status she achieved at the end with her tragic and mysterious suicide(?).
-
YADA YADA... lazy.. where's the news...? Or more DVD competition winners?... zzzzzzzzz
-
It was actually Joe Kennedy, JFK's dad, who slept with Gloria Swanson.
