Before anyone says anything about Marilyn Monroe on the set of #TheMisfits, or how it may have affected others, for example Mr. Gable. I refer you to this photograph and consider the matter closed. #TCMParty

A black and white photograph taken behind the scenes of The Misfits, showing Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in costume. Gable is enthusiastically holding Monroe in a huge hug with a smile on his face so big that his eyes are all crinkled up. She is hugging him tightly in return with a big happy smile on her face too. Both are looking at the camera but nothing about this moment feels false, there's a real and strong sense of joy and affection here.

I love everything about Marilyn in #SomeLikeItHot. It makes me sad that we didn't have her longer so she could get the raves she deserved. #TCMParty

Marilyn’s performance is really very good. Subtly funny, very in the moment. When you consider what they made her do in Bus Stop, you understand how undervalued comedic acting is and that it was truly her metier. #tcmparty #SomeLikeitHot

"You're the saddest girl I've ever met." Those were the very words Arthur Miller said to Marilyn Monroe when they first met. #TheMisfits #TCMParty with melancholy

I personally love Marilyn's cherry printed dress. It was designed by Jean Louis, who also designed the flesh-colored dress she wore for President John F. Kennedy's birthday party at Madison Square Garden in 1962. #TCMParty #TheMisfits

I’ve never seen #TheMisfits. But it looks terrific. The DVR is whirring away so I can watch it later. G’nite #TCMParty folks.

Today I learned the falsetto voice for Josephine (Some Like It Hot) and Ludwig Von Drake both came from the same set of pipes. #TCMParty

Of all the people at that table, Eli Wallach lived the longest, 2014. Clark Gable died the following year, 1960 #TheMisfits #TCMParty

As I watch this I. wonder how amazing would Marilyn have probably been as she aged into ever more depth and serious dramatic roles. #TheMisfits #TCMParty
