About The Movie : Let's Make Love is a 1960 romantic musical comedy starring Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand. Directed by George Cukor, the movie follows the story of a billionaire named Jean-Marc Clement (played by Montand), who discovers a theater group planning a satire about him. He decides to visit the theater undercover and ends up auditioning for the role of... himself! Clement's plan takes an unexpected turn when he meets and falls in love with Amanda Dell, a vivacious actress played by Marilyn Monroe. The film explores themes of identity, fame, and romance, with Monroe’s character Amanda embodying the allure and charm she was known for. Notably, Let's Make Love includes musical numbers and comedy, showcasing Monroe's singing and comedic talent. One of the most memorable musical numbers, "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," was sung by Monroe, and she wore a bold, risqué outfit that became iconic. While Let's Make Love wasn’t a massive box office success compared to Monroe’s other films, it remains a classic due to its cast, Monroe's vibrant screen presence, and its behind-the-scenes drama.

About Marilyn Monroe: "In 1926 a girl was born in the charity ward at the Los Angeles County Hospital who would become one of the most celebrated and enduring icons of all time – Marilyn Monroe. Norma Jeane Mortenson’s childhood was volatile as she was passed from family members to family friends and frequently stayed in orphanages as a result of her mother’s mental health. To avoid another orphanage stay a family friend orchestrated a marriage proposal when she was sixteen years old. When her husband was sent to the Pacific with the merchant marine, Norma Jeane began working on an assembly line at an aeronautical plant.

In 1945 a photographer took a snapshot of the stunning brunette while at the factory and within months she became a successful model securing dozens of magazine covers and a screen test with 20th Century Fox. Studio executives, directors and photographers immediately recognized her ability to capture and hold the attention of anyone on the opposite end of a camera lens. By the end of 1946 her hair had become a platinum shade of blonde and her name was changed to Marilyn Monroe." See less
