My Week With Marilyn Page #2
Well done, boy.
Nice job, kid.
Colin Clark,
Laurence Olivier Productions.
The film was then
called The Sleeping Prince.
Marilyn was to play a naive American
who is seduced by an Eastern-European
prince played by Olivier.
It was the lightest of comedies.
- You in the union?
- No.
Then you can't have a job on the film.
Well, how do I get into the union?
By getting a job on the film.
to do something for you.
The union owe me a few favors.
We don't have a third yet.
- A third?
- You do know what the job is?
- Assisting the director?
That's the last thing you do!
thirds job is to
do whatever the f*** I tell him.
- And what are you waiting for?
Colin!
don't sh*t
on your own doorstep.
- Got it?
- Got it.
The third always stays nearby.
Not in some bloody palace in London.
Book a room at
The Dog & Duck down the road.
It's a bit rough. You'll get used to it.
Now make yourself useful.
Marilyn needs a bodyguard.
- Sort something out.
I'm sure you understand the sensitive
nature of the job, Superintendent.
Something about looking
after a cinema actress?
Well, not just any actress.
Marilyn Monroe.
I never had much time
for the pictures.
Excellent.
For the next four months,
Day or night.
Her behavior is reputedly
a little erratic.
- She drinks?
- Pills?
- It would be useful if you could, uh,
keep us informed of
her domestic situation.
You want me to spy on her.
Well, the odd early warning
if you know she's going to be late.
That kind of thing.
Hello.
Colin Clark. I booked a room.
Ah, right. Here you are.
Sign this.
What brings you up this way?
I'm working on a film at Pinewood.
Oh. What film is that?
It's called The Sleeping Prince. With
Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe,
so I'll be working with them.
Room's three quid a week.
First week in advance.
Number two.
And, uh, hope you don't mind,
you'll be sharing with Grace Kelly.
This'll work fine for Marilyn. Oh, and,
uh, Paula will need the room next door.
- I beg your pardon?
- Sorry, who is Paula?
Strasberg. Marilyn's acting coach.
She's nuts about the Method.
Arthur, we've spoken about this before.
Stanislavski and the Method are
perfectly fine in the rehearsal room,
but they don't belong on a film set.
Time is too tight.
Larry! Some good news.
House committee have decided
Miller isn't a communist after all.
Of course he is.
All those pain in the ass
New York intellectuals are Reds.
Which means she'll be flying
in next week on schedule.
