Norma Jean & Marilyn Page #5

How nice?. Huh?.

Eddie.

You used Uncle Ted

to get to Johnny Hyde.

Oh, who are you to talk?.

Are you trying to tell me

you didn't use your uncle to help you

get your SAG card

and your studio contract?.

Oh, yeah, sure...

He mighta made a couple calls for me.

Yeah,

but I didn't have to sleep with him!

Oh, and I did.

So big deal.

Johnny Hyde is going to be

the best thing

that ever happened to mein this town.

I mean, after you. Eddie...

What we have is real.

You know you're the only one I love.

Johnny, I can't believe

I just saw Eleanor Powell

and Loretta Young!

I'm having lunch

next to the most famous stars

in Hollywood!

Well, baby, you're gonna be bigger

than all of 'em put together.

Ah, thank you.

Whoa-whoa-whoa! Mmmm.

Who's that?.

The goyish-looking one is Darryl Zanuck

he's chief of production at Fox.

Started off as a writer

at Warner Brothers,

used to write Rin Tin Tin movies.

And the Greek guy sitting

next to him, that's Spyros Skouras.

He's out here from New York.

He's the chairman of the Board at Fox.

So, this guy grew up

in a little village in Greece,

his family raised sheep

and now he's Zanuck's boss.

So what we have hear

is a guy who used write

for a German Shepherd sucking up

to a guy who used to be a shepherd.

See, everybody's beholden

to somebody else.

Don't ever forget that.

Can I meet them?.

You listen to me.

Right now, you're the mystery woman.

You see, everybody in this room

is dying to know who you are.

And I want to keep it exactly like that

So just trust me.

I do. You know I trust you, Johnny.

You're the finest man I ever met.

Well...I have ulterior motives.

So do I.

What are those?.

Nembutals.

Can't seem to get to sleep

without them anymore.

And these are Benzedrine.

One to go up and one to go down.

I hope your doctor knows

what he's doin'.

That stuff's really dangerous.

Actually, your uncle sends them to me.

You're crazy! You wanna kill yourself?.

I know what I'm doing,

and I know exactly what I need.

You're just gonna

have to take me the way I am, Eddie.

Take me the way I am

or don't take me at all.

Most of the gals who pose

for us are actresses or models.

Usually the don't like to give

their real name.

So you can make up any name you like.

How about Margaret Tuman?.

Or what about Judy Garland?.

Oh, honey, I could tell you stories,

believe me.

Okay, Norma Jean. Get ready.

Great. Mmm, good.

Very good.

Okay, here we go.

Get in position. Yes. Oohhh.

I like that. Oh, beautiful.

Right in the camera.

And...

Yeah.

Nice.

This girl's gonna be a major star,

Darryl.

Just look at these fairways, will you?.

Like velvet and right

in the middle of the desert.
