Watching a Marilyn Monroe documentary (Reframed on BBC iPlayer) and damn she was so ahead of her time and smart and bold and then they show a clip of Some Like It Hot and WHAM! That film is alchemy (with the greatest last line in cinema history too btw).

She was simply electric. A true heart breaker. In the small amount of interviews I have seen, naive, innocent. An act? If so, she drew me in!

Some Like It Hot also the cause of one of my favourite ever actor photographs. Curtis and Lemmon ‘The Girls’ by Annie Leibovitz

Two older men holding hands. One wearing just white y-fronts, the other in a pink chemis. Both are wearing eye shadow and lipstick. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon
