My Week with Marilyn Monologues

Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during the production of Uyuyan Prens (1957).

Little girls should be told how pretty they are. They should grow up knowing how much their mother loves them.

Do you know I've been married three times already? How did that happen?

They always look right at the start.

Darling, as I'm in England let's say I sleep in nothing but Yardley's lavender.

I want this to be the perfect date. I haven't had a real date since I was 13 years old.

All people ever see is Marilyn Monroe. As soon as they realize I'm not her, they run.

Why do the people I love always leave me?

Forgive my horrible face.

Every time I walk into the studio I feel this sense of doom come over me. He gives me the dirtiest looks, even when he's smiling.

Don't be shy, Colin. It's nothing you haven't seen before.

Light of heart and fancy free, That's the way to start, There will be nothing to lose, 'Til you lose your heart.

That's the first time I've kissed anyone younger than me. There's a lot of older guys in Hollywood.

I found a dream, Laying in your arms, The whole night through, I'm yours...

hope you will all forgive me. It wasn't all together my fault. I've been ill. I'd like you to remember I tried.

I have something in my eye.
