“Feel the breeze from the subway! Isn’t it delicious?”<\/em><\/p>\n

A little after 1 am on September 15, 1954 thousands of bystanders crowded the corner of Lexington Ave. and 52 St. in New York City to witness cinematic history. It was on that night and on that corner where actress Marilyn Monroe<\/a> had her ivory halter dress blown up over her hips by the uptown 6 while filming Billy Wilder\u2019s romantic comedy, The Seven Year Itch<\/em>. The scene, which caused such a commotion with the crowd that all the shots that Billy Wilder filmed that night were unusable, was staged by 20th Century Fox\u2019s marketing department. They had \u201cleaked\u201d the time and location to the press to help drum up publicity for the film. Good thing too, because the press photographs of Marilyn on that crisp New York night have become as iconic as the scene in the movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways be yourself. Retain individuality; listen to the truest part of yourself.\u201d –#MarilynMonroe<\/a>
