Rare footage of Marilyn Monroe at a press conference after she returned to Hollywood to begin filming Bus Stop.
On February 25, 1956, Marilyn Monroe returned to Los Angeles to begin production on Bus Stop, the film that would become one of the most important performances of her career.
During a press conference held upon her arrival, she appeared confident and optimistic as she spoke about the upcoming project and her excitement for the role.
In Bus Stop, Marilyn portrayed Cherie, a vulnerable yet determined nightclub singer searching for a better life.
The performance marked a significant turning point, allowing her to demonstrate a depth and emotional range that surprised many critics and audiences who had previously viewed her primarily as a glamorous screen icon.
Directed by Joshua Logan and based on William Inge’s hit Broadway play, the film became both a commercial and critical success.
Marilyn’s heartfelt portrayal earned widespread praise and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, further cementing her reputation as a talented performer capable of much more than the “blonde bombshell” image Hollywood had created.
This rare footage captures Marilyn at the beginning of a new chapter in her career, full of determination, ambition, and the desire to be recognised not only as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars but as a truly accomplished actress.

La revista francesa LÉGENDE, en su edición Nº 22 (abril–mayo–junio 2026), dedica íntegramente sus páginas a Marilyn Monroe, recorriendo su nacimiento como estrella, su ascenso meteórico y su perdurable trascendencia como uno de los mayores íconos de Hollywood, bajo el título CIEN AÑOS DE FASCINACIÓN.
Una fotografía poco explotada de Marilyn —capturada por Milton H. Greene en 1955— está cautivando a sus fans y admiradores. Su diseño minimalista y estético resalta por el contraste entre la iluminación que enmarca su icónica belleza con el profundo fondo oscuro que la envuelve.
Este 2026 depara muchas sorpresas para los coleccionistas de esta gran estrella. —MARILYN MÉXICO
