A Cycle
A cycle began to form in regards to Monroe's addiction and her career. She would take on new roles, promote them, and then be too sick to film them, delaying filming for long stretches of time. It eventually got too costly, and the studio had to make a choice. Monroe was valuable, but not enough to cover the costs she caused.
Helena Drive
Monroe moved back to California after her divorce from Miller. She bought a home at 12305 5th Helena Drive in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The couple had gotten what is known as a "Mexican divorce" which is a legal separation done in Mexico, where the case is moved along quicker.
