"A Press Conference in England"
On July 17th 1956, Marilyn Monroe was poised to attended a promotional press conference for her role in the up and coming film being co-stared, produced and directed by Sir Laurence Olivier called "The Prince and the Showgirl"
I have styled my Doll as Marilyn the day after her and her then Husband, Arthur Miller, arrived in London England for a press conference that was set top be held that evening.

The 2011 film "My Week with Marilyn" depicts the week in which Monroe spent being escorted around London by personal assistant Colin Clark, during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl". The movie is largely based upon two books by Clark recounting his experiences during the production: "My Week with Marilyn" (2000) and "The Prince, the Showgirl, and Me: Six Months on the Set With Marilyn and Olivier" (1996). Both books and the film depict Monroe striking up a friendship and alleged semi-romantic relationship with Clark for a brief time during production.
