Marilyn Monroe, Between Scenes, Bus Stop, 1956

Bus Stop director, Joshua Logan, described her as “the most talented motion picture actress of her day—warm, witty, extremely bright and totally involved in her work. In Bus Stop, Monroe experienced a director who, for the first time in her career, truly recognized her artistry and was open to collaboration. “I’d say she was the greatest artist I ever worked with in my entire career,” Logan said. “Hollywood shamelessly wasted her, hasn’t given the girl a chance.”
