3. Something’s Got To Give
Marilyn Monroe may have died in 1962, but she is still considered to be one of the most influential and iconic actresses who has ever lived, even though she was primarily known for her looks and playing “dumb blonde” characters. Monroe dealt with drugs and alcohol addiction throughout most of her acting career, and she also suffered from anxiety and depression; and in 1962, her addiction finally turned fatal. She had been filming the movie Something’s Got to Give for a couple of weeks when the director had her fired because of her lateness and her inability to remember her lines; but after pleading with both the director and her cast members, she was hired back. Days before she was supposed to return to set though, Monroe died of a drug overdose which was considered to be suicide. As a result, the movie was never finished, and the scenes that were shot became parts of several documentaries.
