'Marilyn had decided to learn how to cook and started with homemade noodles, hanging them over a chair back and drying them with a hair dryer, and she gave me hair trims out in the sunshine, and we walked the empty Amagansett beach in peace, chatting with the occasional commercial fishermen who worked their nets from winches on their rusting trucks.'
The movie star allegedly prepared for her huge role in Some Like It Hot in the house in 1959.

During that time, Marilyn transformed into a platinum blonde and underwent plastic surgery for her chin.
Her popularity increased and she went on to do numerous films including As Young as You Feel, Love Nest and Let's Make it Legal and she rose to prominence as a sex icon and actor.
