| Simone Signoret and Marilyn Monroe - 1960 |
"Marilyn", a new play from Sue Glover is set during the spring and summer of 1960. Monroe had returned from New York to Hollywood to film Let’s Make Love and she shared a three-apartment bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel with husband Arthur Miller. Her co-star Yves Montand was also her next-door neighbour in an apartment he shared with wife Simone Signoret.
Glover’s play speculates on the relationship between Monroe and Signoret as it is observed by the eyes of a hairdresser. It explores the fame, fortune and the lives of two icons who may have had more in common than we had previously considered.
In Simone Signoret's autobiography she writes, "She's gone, without ever knowing that I never stopped wearing the champagne coloured silk scarf she'd lent me one day.. it’s a bit frayed now, but if I fold it carefully, the fray doesn’t show."
