She smoked out at a New Jersey house party in late 50s. (Very Don Draper).
An anonymous source sold the 8mm footage for $275,000 (£166,000) to US collector Keya Morgan, who is making a documentary on the death of Monroe in August 1962.
(Too bad Jeanne Carmen is dead and can't contribute fishtales...maybe Tony Curtis will step forward now saying that he drove Bobby Kennedy over to her house that day.)

One of my fave YouTube personalities Peter Petraitis (he does Edie Beale, Jackie O, Dietrich, Loretta Young - among others) really out did himself when he was inspired to create this vid.
I found this salute to MM's final film performance in The Misfits to be a real hoot. He certainly captures frail Marilyn dancing on the edge of oblivion. I also find these "out takes" far more entertaining than the creepy elegy of that actual self-indulgent film and its neurotics-on-parade.

Lord knows what starlet Marilyn Monroe had to do in fat Harry Cohn's Columbia Studios office to get this role.
Regardless, she gave audiences a taste of what was to come later in glorious 20th Century Fox technicolor.
Here in one of her first big roles she sings: "Every Baby Needs a Dad, Dad, Daddy"...
In one of her final films in 1960 she works the pole and sings: "My Heart Belongs To Daddy".
If this doesn't show you that men get off on the helpless female - nothing does. It's in our DNA. WE cannot help it. It also gives you an idea of what Marilyn was up against in Hollywood 1948-62.
