Marilyn Monroe - Something's Got to Give - 1962 (RARE PHOTOS)

On April 23, 1962, Marilyn arrived at the 20th Fox Studios to do some costume and hair tests,

Later as we know Marilyn didn't come to work because she was sick, she had sinusitis.

Her private doctor, Dr Hyman Engelberg, and the studio doctor, Dr Lee Siegel, agreed on Marilyn's need of rest.

On June 7, 1962, Marilyn was officially dismissed for "breach of contract", after Levathes had stopped the project.

On July 25, 1962, Peter Levathes personally went to Marilyn's home to announce to her that Fox wanted her back - not only that, but they agreed to pay her a higher salary.

Marilyn's lawyer, Milton Rudin, set about working on the contractual details of her return to the set.

On Marilyn's suggestion, Jean Negulesco was asked if he would agree to direct the movie.

On August 1, 1962, 4 days before Marilyn's death, Fox signed a new contract for her, with a salary of $500,000.00.
