The incomparable Marilyn Monroe, on location in New York to film scenes for The Seven Year Itch, September 15, 1954.

Fun Fact: The full skirt blowing scene filmed on location in New York couldn’t be used in the final film due to the noise from the crowd that had gathered to watch. They roared each time Marilyn’s dress blew up from the fans below the subway grate. The scene had to be reshot in Hollywood on the Fox lot. The two scenes were spliced together for the final version of the film. If you watch this scene in the final cut closely, you’ll see differences in the buildings behind Marilyn, in her hair, and even in her dress.

In Her Shoes: 444 East 57th Street, New York

My New York “In Her 👠” tour continues with my final shot of the inside of Marilyn’s apartment on East 57th Street. When I visited in January, there was a lot of work being done to remodel what was once Marilyn’s home, which she shared with then husband playwright Arthur Miller. The apartment had been gutted, with new walls in the process of being constructed.

In this shot, I’m standing in the living room. The photo of Marilyn and Arthur shows them hosting theatrical producer Kermit Bloomgarden in 1958. Bloomgarden produced Death of a Salesman (written by Miller), The Music Man, The Diary of Anne Frank, and many other films. This photo was part of a LIFE magazine story titled “People at the Top of the Entertainment World,” included in the December 22, 1958, issue.

The windows to my left can be seen in the photo of Arthur and Bloomgarden seated on the living room furniture, and Marilyn relaxing on the floor. It was quite the experience to be standing in that same spot. I’ve never met or even heard about another Marilyn fan being inside her 57th street apartment. How did I do it? I had the right doorman on the right day, who was feeling generous.

I have a few more posts coming from my January trip to New York, which was all about finding and photographing Marilyn Monroe locations. Be sure to follow and subscribe so you’ll never miss a post. View my prior Reels to see all of my past “In Her 👠“ moments.

Wait for it…

In Her Shoes: Marilyn Monroe Announces Divorce from Arthur Miller  My “In Her 👠” tour continues with me inside Marilyn’s apartment building lobby at 444 East 57th Street in New York. Marilyn appears, exiting from her elevator on November 11, 1960. In this shot, I’m standing in the lobby in front of a set of double doors that Marilyn walks by as the heads toward the front doors of her building.

Her divorce from third husband Arthur Miller had just been announced, and she was surrounded by members of the press, both inside the lobby and waiting outside. They were asking for quotes and taking photos. In film footage from this same event a reporter is heard asking Marilyn, “What’s the reason for the breakup, can you tell us?” She responded with, “I’m sorry, I can’t talk about my personal life.”
 We’ve all experienced the end of relationships, resulting in pain and loss. Imagine, however, having the breakup be the headline in newspapers around the world.  There are still more NYC posts to come! My trip to Manhattan last January provided countless locations for my “In Her Shoes” series. Be sure to follow me for more “In Her 👠!” moments from New York! Remember to subscribe so you never miss a post. And, stay tuned for more photos from INSIDE Marilyn’s 444 East 57th Street apartment.
