Marilyn Monroe – Happy Birthday/Thanks For The Memories
An evening pause: Another bit of cultural history from the 1960s. From the Youtube webpage:
Marilyn footage singing to JFK on his gala birthday bash on May 19th 1962. The running joke for the evening, as planned, was that Marilyn was late! it was planned that way for the event. Everything we see Marilyn do on stage was rehearsed right down to her arm movements and jumping up and down at the end of the song as we can see in the rehearsal photos before the event. so Marilyn did this spot on as planned.
Sadly, she would be dead by August, and Kennedy by November of the next year.

Groucho Marx & Marilyn Monroe – Love Happy
An evening pause: This short clip starts with audio from a Groucho Marx interview where he describes the audition for the part of a girl in a short scene from the 1949 film Love Happy, and concludes by showing the scene as filmed, with Marilyn Monroe playing the part. Entertaining, and a fascinating bit of film trivia.
