[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 199488, member: 7"] I believe she was re-hired on August 1, 1962. I could be wrong on the date. Beforehand, Marilyn herself had entered a campaign to get the movie going again. Cyd Charisse remembers receiving a telegram from Monroe asking her if she were willing to continue with [I]Something's Got to Give [/I]if she "could get it going again". Charisse says she gave Marilyn a chipper, "Of course. I'd be more than happy to do it" reply. Considering all the commotion, Fox failed to realize the stipulations the other actors, outside of Monroe, had in their contracts. Dean Martin had approval of his leading lady. Once Marilyn was axed, the studio tried to replace her quickly to salvage the film. After Kim Novak and Shirley MacLaine turned down the option, the studio began looking toward Lee Remick to fit the bill. Remick was fitted for Monroe's costumes and photographed with George Cukor. Martin, however, rebuffed at Remick's casting, and famously told reporters: "No Marilyn, no picture." Marilyn's new contract with Fox would pay her a total of $1 million for two pictures; she was to finish [I]Something's Got to Give[/I], and she was slated to star in [I]What a Way to Go![/I], the latter ended up starring Shirley MacLaine. Monroe was also replaced by MacLaine in [I]Irma la Douce[/I]. There were also talks of her starring in a biopic of Jean Harlow's life, a unnamed World War I-themed musical costarring Gene Kelly, a leading role in [I]Kiss Me, Stupid[/I], and a top role in a lavish remake of [I]A Tree Grows in Brooklyn[/I]. Things were certainly looking up. But it was not to be. [CENTER][IMG]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iip1w8rAz6o/hqdefault.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
