Quote: "One day we were walking along Broadway and nobody noticed. I couldn't believe it and I said, 'This is unbelievable! We're walking along, it's Marilyn Monroe, nobody's going crazy.' And she said, 'Oh, you want to see her?' And I said, 'Sure!' and all she did was change her body posture and all of a sudden within 10 feet we couldn't move. We were surrounded by people. It took five policemen (to escort us). She became Marilyn. That's a great movie star." Actor Burt Reynolds was mesmerised by the Some Like It Hot bombshell.
