Based On: My Week with Marilyn by Colin Clark (1996)
In 1956, 23-year-old Colin Clark began work as a lowly assistant on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl," the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe. The blonde bombshell and the legendary actor were ill suited from the start. Clark was perceptive in his assessment of what seemed to be going wrong in Monroe's life. Before long, Monroe and Clark spent an innocent week together in the English countryside and Clark became her confidant and ally.
