A rare footage of Marilyn Monroe on the set of her last completed film was sold for US$60,000 at an auction of movie memorabilia held last Saturday (June 21).
The two reels of silent, 8-millimeter color film was shot on the set of "The Misfits". The 47-minute footage, which shows actors preparing for scenes and chatting with crew members on the set, was filmed by cameo actor Stanley Floyd Kilarr. It features candid moments with Monroe and co-star Clark Gable, as well as co-stars Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter and director John Huston.
"The Misfits" was the last completed film for both Monroe and Gable. The lead actor had a fourth heart attack just after filming was completed and died Nov. 16, 1960, about two months before the movie's release, while Monroe died Aug. 5, 1962.
