10 Musical Moments From Marilyn Monroe
Today, June 1, would have been screen icon (and Bombshell the Musical inspiration) Marilyn Monroe’s 90th birthday. #DontForgetMe
Marilyn never appeared on Broadway, though she was the subject of the notorious 1983 flop Marilyn, which starred Alyson Reed as Norma Jeane & Marilyn and Scott Bakula as Joe DiMaggio and ran at the Minskoff Theatre for 17 performances.
No, Marilyn’s talents were immortalized on the silver screen, in classics like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch, and on our computer screens in these YouTube clips.
