mostlyzeldazonk: She sure registered on that screen. The minute the camera turned on her she became this incredible creature, and she was absolutely dazzling. She was- there’s no question about that… During our scenes she’d look at my forehead instead of my eyes. At the end of a take, she’d look to her coach for approval. If the headshake was no, she’d insist on another take. A scene often went to fifteen or more takes. Despite this I couldn’t dislike Marilyn. She had no meanness in her- no bitchery. She just had to concentrate on herself and the people who were there only for her… Fifty years on, we’re still watching her movies and talking about her. That’s not a dumb woman- trust me.-Lauren Bacall
