my ultimate laziness is showing through, so instead of doing the work, im just going to ask.

does anyone know if there is any connection between the new movie coming out titled "something's gotta give" and the unfinished movie starring marilyn monroe titled "something's got to give" which she was filming when she died?

just curious.

if not, i wonder, since the technology is there to do it now, if they've ever considered using a digital recreation to finish the movie. they could make quite a deal off it if they did.

hey, do you know MM was really into enemas, in fact the consiratory theorists reckon that she was killed by a fatal enema given to her containing poison....no joke really...:eek:

Marilyn had been seeing Joe DiMaggio frequently during this time and had finally agreed to remarry him. The wedding date was set for August 8, 1962. Fox rehired her on August 1 to complete "Somethings Got to Give" with a salary of $250,000, which was two and a half times the original amount. Of course these events would never come to pass due to her untimely death on August 5, 1962.

Much has been speculated about the events surrounding her death and others involvement in it. But whatever the cause...it is highly unlikely that it was suicide. Possibly the result of a tragic accidental drug overdose...and possibly administered by someone other than Marilyn herself.

A saddened Joe DiMaggio made arrangements for the funeral, inviting no one from the Hollywood scene or press...but only close friends and relatives. As he said..."they had only hurt Marilyn." For over 20 years flowers were delivered weekly to her crypt from Joe...just as he had promised Marilyn when she told him of William Powell's pledge to the dying Jean Harlow.

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

of allll the books i've read on theories about her death.. that was definately not one of them.

although the question still remains if the movies are connected. the topic of the movie seems like something she''d do. lol.
