Trouble In Paradise
Behind the scenes, all was not well with Marilynn. She grew more and more dependant on pharmaceuticals and had had a miscarriage. She and Greene were constantly fighting about how to best run MMP. Her latest flick, The Prince and the Showgirl received poor reviews from American audiences and mixed reviewed worldwide.
Time Off
Monroe decided to take a hiatus to focus on herself. In mid-1957, the actress suffered from an ectopic pregnancy as well as another miscarriage. Though she was quiet about it, it was likely due to her endometriosis. Monroe bought the shares Greene had over MMP and ran the studio all by herself, even living through an overdose.
