One of my favorite Marilyn Monroe films was "Some Like It Hot" (1959), a comedy romp also starring Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as two crazy musicians who dress in drag {again, ahead [?] of their time} to keep from being found and gunned down by the mob. In the midst of their undercover scheme, they join a traveling female band, whose ukulele player is none other than Marilyn. A real spoof ensues, along with a dash of romance for good measure. It is a real classic comedy film.
As is true of many wonderful actors and actresses, she met an untimely death in August 1962, when she was found suspiciously nude on her bed, dead of a drug overdose.
