“I knew Miss Monroe when she was married to Joe DiMaggio, and we were making The Seven Year Itch. I knew her when she was married to Arthur Miller, and we were making Some Like it Hot. Her marriages didn't work out because Joe DiMaggio found out she was Marilyn Monroe, and Arthur Miller found out she wasn't Marilyn Monroe.” —Billy Wilder
