Carl Rollyson Quote
May 7: Marilyn performs well as a wife returning home several years after she has been presumed dead. She kneels down to speak with the children she has not seen for so long. Robert Christopher Morley, who played her son, recalled, [S]he was very tender . . . and in the fantasy world of being on the set and shooting the movie it was very nice to have Marilyn be my mother. Alexandra Heilweil, who played Marilyn’s daughter, recalled, I remember looking up at her, and it was as if she drifted out of a mist . . . the model of femininity to me. I think it was the way she carried herself and the sweetness of her voice—totally feminine and totally elegant. Alexandra’s mother added, Marilyn was magnificent. You never really knew how sick she was. And I can tell you she was sick indeed.
