Another Break
After filming "Some Like It Hot" Monroe took another break, and her career took a turn for the worst. Her difficult reputation had worsened and her marriage to Miller was on the rocks as both stars were having affairs behind the others' backs. Her health was faring worst of all, and she was growing sicker every day...
Sick, Not Sober
Monroe was getting sicker every second. She had significant gallstones disrupting her performance, and her addiction to drugs was increasingly severe. While under the influence of barbiturates, Monroe would fall asleep, and her makeup artists would doll her up while she was passed out. A week of filming was halted so Monroe could detox.
