Footage from Marilyn Monroe’s last film shows the star never missed a cue, contradicting reports that she was in a drug-induced stupor during the last weeks of her life, according to TV Guide.
Fox Entertainment News is scrambling to prepare footage from “Something’s Got to Give,” for a prime-time special tentatively scheduled to air Aug. 4, the 28th anniversary of Monroe’s death, the magazine reported in its July 21 edition.
Those who have seen the footage say Monroe never missed a cue, the magazine reported.
But others interviewed for the special said Monroe, who died of a drug overdose before the movie was finished, was losing control of her private life during filming. The film was never completed.
