I went to this spot a few weeks ago. The area is so different now that it is hard to get even a feeling that this famous scene was filmed here. I also walked to her 444 East 57th street apartment (end of East 57th street by the East River) and a doorman took my picture in front of it. I had fun retracing Marilyn's steps around NY. James Haspiel's book is really good for finding locations.
going in 2 yrs... this is a place i HAVE to visit. can't believe there is no plaque or anything to commemorate one of THE movie moments. thanks for the upload
@rhylmark Once you visit the "Marilyn" locations in NY, you'll really feel why Marilyn loved it there and considered herself a New Yorker. There are NO plaques at any Marilyn locations in NY. I feel Marilyn would have wanted it that way, because New York treated her like anyone else. New York didn't want anything from her or obsess over her "Marilyn Monroe" persona. Unlike Hollywood, who built her up, took her down, and didn't care.
@rhylmark It's not that NY doesn't care to recognize Marilyn, but she was one of them, a New Yorker. And I think she enjoyed that. The Marilyn locations in NY seem a lot more on the "personal" side of Marilyn without the recognition. That she was a person, like us, and not just a superstar.
Yes, the 2009 photos and video were taken from my trip to NY this past summer. I can't wait to go back! There is so much more left to see and do. If you ever get the chance to visit, GO!
@tigersclaw99 You should def check out the apartment where the exterior shots of The Seven Year Itch were filmed! That was my favorite! Feel free to send me a private message and I can send you more locations and addresses :)
Hi John . . . yes, I frequently pass it on the way home -- as I've stated previously -- again, Thank You and of course, Ms. Monroe for including this . . . historic scenes like this in the city always intrigue me. I find the history of this city infinitely fascinating -- it never really ends.
Amazing . . . wonderful thoughts and a wonderful comparison . . . I just walked past there this afternoon on the way home . . . a scene that become so much poignant with time.

Marilyn is classic. She's a wonderful model and I've drawn her many times. Just uploaded a new drawing pic of her :)

I'm the same way, I love "before and after" things like this. It was very surreal to be there.
