Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:20.:00:24.

Our guest, the actor who taught Harry Potter how to fly and is

:00:24.:00:28.

about to teach Marilyn Monroe how to act. She has previously played

:00:28.:00:33.

her door, a leprechaun, a talking piece of skin, and one of the best-

:00:33.:00:40.

known sitcom mums on British telly. It is Zoe Wanamaker. You played

:00:40.:00:46.

Cassandre, a piece of skin, in Doctor Who. That must have been

:00:46.:00:53.

challenging. It was great. Did it stretch you as an actor? Yes,

:00:53.:01:00.

tremendously, I loved it. My Family came to an end in September. Do you

:01:00.:01:05.

think it was time? I think so. We had great fun doing it and it was

:01:05.:01:09.

always a surprise when we were commissioned to do more. We always

:01:09.:01:15.

had good fun. I think it had had its time. 11 years is a long time

:01:15.:01:19.

and you said you were glad you would not have to sit on the sofa

:01:19.:01:24.

again because it was uncomfortable. I wanted to get rid of it. I beg

:01:24.:01:30.

for it to disappear. It cut you off right there, and if his atomic you

:01:30.:01:35.

were like that. Yours is better because it makes you sit up. -- and

:01:35.:01:41.

if you sat on it. Later, more tips from Arthur Smith on how to write a

:01:41.:01:44.

best-selling novel and we will be chatting to Zoe about her new film

:01:44.:01:51.

which tells the story of Marilyn Monroe's visit to the UK in 1956.

:01:51.:01:54.

And Alex is incredibly excited because she will be wearing one of

:01:54.:02:00.

Marilyn Monroe's dresses. She had her eyes down and everything.

:02:00.:02:05.

know. Before that, Anita Rani looks at the enduring legacy of the

:02:05.:02:10.

biggest blonde bombshell of them all.

:02:10.:02:14.

Marilyn Monroe, one of the most famous faces of the 20th century,

:02:14.:02:20.

and now the subject of a new movie. As well known for her life off-

:02:20.:02:24.

camera as on screen, Marilyn starred in 30 films and was married

:02:24.:02:28.

three times. But what was Marilyn really like, and why does her

:02:28.:02:34.

legacy live on the almost 50 years later? Marilyn Monroe arrived in

:02:34.:02:39.

London with her new husband and playwright, Arthur Miller, to make

:02:39.:02:43.

The Prince And The Showgirl. The film starred and was directed by

:02:43.:02:47.

revered actor Laurence Olivier. would come on the set and you would

:02:47.:02:50.

hope that she would remember her line said it would all go well. You

:02:50.:02:55.

would think, my goodness, I hope she is going to be all right. Once

:02:55.:03:01.

she got the flow and whatever it is, it was fine. What was the

:03:01.:03:05.

atmosphere like concept? She was always late. You can imagine,

:03:05.:03:10.

people get frustrated. You think, what are we going to do, we have to

:03:10.:03:14.

keep on schedule. What was her relationship with Sir Laurence

:03:14.:03:19.

Olivier? He was patients himself with her and he would surely her

:03:19.:03:23.

long, but the tension was there. She wanted to be a great actress

:03:23.:03:28.

and she certainly picked a great man to help her. She was like a

:03:28.:03:32.

child, but she was magic when she appeared, that is the point. She

:03:32.:03:38.

was magic in front of the camera. And it is part of this time that a

:03:39.:03:42.

week with Marilyn focuses on, featuring the seven days missing

:03:42.:03:47.

from the original diaries of a third assistant director, Colin

:03:47.:03:53.

Clark. We decided to take you on an adventure. It was a week in which

:03:53.:03:57.

their friendship grew and she played hookey from the set. Michele

:03:57.:04:02.

Morgan has spent years researching Marilyn, publishing several books

:04:02.:04:06.

about her. I have seen the movie and you have read the diaries. Do

:04:06.:04:12.

you believe Colin Clark's story? Whether the diaries that he kept

:04:12.:04:16.

were entirely true or embellished somewhat, I don't think we will

:04:16.:04:19.

ever know. She must have had some determination because she came from

:04:19.:04:24.

nothing and became the most famous woman on the planet. To go from

:04:24.:04:28.

being in an orphanage to be in the world's most famous movie star, she

:04:28.:04:32.

had a lot of guts and ambition. Once she decided to do something,

:04:32.:04:38.

there was no stopping her. Marilyn won several awards in her acting

:04:38.:04:42.

career, including the Golden Globe, but never the much coveted Oscar.

:04:42.:04:48.

The ultimate question, was she a talented actress? I think she was a

:04:48.:04:51.

talented actress to convince us that she was like the movie persona

:04:51.:04:55.

of Marilyn Monroe, because in real life I think she was very different

:04:55.:05:00.

but we were totally convinced that her blonde personality is her real

:05:00.:05:06.

personality. What was her enduring appeal? Certainly the vulnerability

:05:06.:05:11.

that we see in Marilyn Monroe has added to the iconic status over the

:05:11.:05:15.

years. But I don't think anybody has got close to actually telling

:05:15.:05:20.

us who the real Marilyn Monroe was. Marilyn Monroe continues to

:05:20.:05:24.

mesmerise new generations, thanks to a life that was equally as

:05:24.:05:31.

fascinating and as flawed as the park as any of the roles she played.

:05:31.:05:35.

You play her acting coach, Paula Strasberg, but really she is much

:05:35.:05:45.
:05:45.:05:46.

more than that. I think so. Her husband started an acting school,

:05:46.:05:56.

which was basically taken from the way of work for actors which was

:05:56.:05:59.

completely different from declamatory acting, people hanging

:05:59.:06:03.

on to the curtains and being completely over-the-top. He started

:06:03.:06:10.

a method of working for actors to actually try to touch base with

:06:10.:06:13.

their characters and transform themselves into the character.

:06:13.:06:18.

Paula Strasberg's husband took that into his own method. And a lot of

:06:18.:06:23.

actors, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, got involved with that.

:06:23.:06:28.

Was that what she was struggling with? I think Marilyn felt she was

:06:28.:06:35.

not a proper actress. Therefore, she took up the method to try to

:06:35.:06:40.

make herself a better actor. So I think when she came to London, she

:06:40.:06:43.

was an American working with Laurence Olivier, who was the

:06:43.:06:50.

greatest star actor in the world. And she was the greatest film

:06:50.:06:55.

actress in the world. And that chemical combination should have

:06:55.:07:05.
:07:05.:07:05.

been wonderful. Because Marilyn was struggling, trying to be a method

:07:05.:07:10.

actress, Paula was there to help her through that. It is difficult

:07:10.:07:15.

when she is playing a little chorus girl. I said she is more than that.

:07:15.:07:21.

Let's have a look at you trying to convince her that she is great.

:07:21.:07:28.

were superb, Marilyn, divine. Have faith in your talent. He was

:07:28.:07:33.

disappointed in me. You are a great actress. All my life I have prayed

:07:33.:07:38.

for a great actress who I could help and guide. Like this. I prayed

:07:38.:07:43.

to God on my knees and he has given me you. You are that great actress,

:07:43.:07:50.

man in. Trust yourself, trust your talent. Get up. Not until you admit

:07:50.:07:57.

you are great. Do you, as an actress, think that

:07:57.:08:04.

Marilyn Monroe was a good actress? Yes, I do. That is what Lawrence

:08:04.:08:10.

Olivier was struggling with. Her instincts were funny, and she was

:08:10.:08:14.

bright. I think she was really bright and she doubted that. She

:08:14.:08:20.

had great doubt in her talent and her belief that what she had innate

:08:20.:08:26.

sleep was good enough. But I think a lot of performers have that

:08:26.:08:33.

problem, people have that problem. Everybody has that problem. For

:08:34.:08:41.

Marilyn, it was about becoming the character she played and finding

:08:42.:08:46.

confidence in that. But she was also sick at the time. Marilyn was

:08:46.:08:51.

sick during the filming of that. There is a possibility that she

:08:51.:08:55.

lost her baby during that time. All of that was going on, plus her

:08:55.:09:00.

feeling insecure. She was surrounded by British actors.

:09:00.:09:05.

out tomorrow, My Week With Marilyn. Arthur Smith is on a mission,

:09:05.:09:10.

finding out how to write a best- selling novel. Last week he

:09:10.:09:13.

discovered he needed good characters and settings but also

:09:13.:09:18.

had to choose a pen name beginning with C. Even after all that, there

:09:18.:09:27.

is the small matter of getting it Many of our greatest best-selling

:09:27.:09:30.

authors must have been shocked to learn that writing a book was a lot

:09:30.:09:36.

easier than getting it published. So, if I were to write a potential

:09:36.:09:41.

bestseller, how do I get myself spotted? Stephen Kelman is a new

:09:41.:09:45.

author who was not just spotted but shortlisted for this year's Booker

:09:45.:09:51.

Prize. I did what we are told to do as aspiring writers, which was to

:09:51.:09:56.

try to find myself and agent. I did that by buying a copy of the

:09:56.:09:59.

Writers' and artists' Yearbook and getting a list of agents from that

:09:59.:10:04.

and sending off my three sample chapters and my covering letter.

:10:04.:10:08.

The first three rejected it for various reasons. 4th time around I

:10:08.:10:13.

struck gold with my eventual agent. After six months of polishing, we

:10:13.:10:18.

sent it to publishers. Within a week, there were 12 knocking on the

:10:18.:10:23.

door, wanting to snap up the rights. You must have been amazed at the

:10:23.:10:29.

trajectory of a man in his flat on his own. There you are at literary

:10:29.:10:33.

parties end up for awards. Yes, it was a long dream of mine since I

:10:33.:10:38.

was six, the only thing I had ever wanted to do. His success rested on

:10:38.:10:41.

publishing editors picking his manuscript from the hundreds they

:10:41.:10:47.

receive each week. What makes one stand out? I will firstly consider

:10:47.:10:51.

how it has been pitched by the agent. If the story they are

:10:51.:10:55.

telling me has grabbed me, that will make me want to look at it. If

:10:55.:10:59.

in the opening pages I have been grabbed by the voice or the set-up,

:10:59.:11:04.

I will put that on to the top of my pile and read it as quickly as I

:11:04.:11:07.

can. Whether you like it or not must be decided sometimes on how

:11:07.:11:13.

you are feeling on that day. Yes, it could be that if one comes along

:11:13.:11:16.

set in South Africa in 1870 and I have read three prior to that set

:11:16.:11:22.

in the same pot of the world at the same time, I may be feeling set-up

:11:22.:11:26.

-- fed up. It is not any fault of the novelist, but for that reason I

:11:26.:11:31.

think editors should remain humble. Also, authors should keep hope and

:11:31.:11:34.

keep trying, because who knows what is going on in the mind of the

:11:35.:11:39.

editors, or on their desk? Publishing comes from the age of

:11:39.:11:44.

the printing press. With the Internet, maybe that is a thing of

:11:44.:11:50.

the past. Perhaps I should publish myself. Self-publishing is not a

:11:50.:11:54.

new thing. A lot of people have had books published, vanity publishing.

:11:54.:11:59.

It is interesting that one or two people have sold over a million

:11:59.:12:05.

copies without the books ever being imprint. So I could effectively

:12:05.:12:09.

published myself. Yes. There are always exceptions but you would

:12:09.:12:16.

probably languish on Amazon at number 553,026. But if you did

:12:16.:12:19.

something to promote it, you would probably see your book moving up

:12:19.:12:24.

the chart. And he should know. 14 years ago, his company spotted the

:12:24.:12:28.

potential of the then unknown Harry Potter. But even Harry Potter did

:12:28.:12:34.

not fly officials immediately. boss set us a target to sell 30,000

:12:34.:12:39.

by Christmas and we would get a set -- a case of champagne. We just

:12:39.:12:42.

scraped it. When the second one came, the retailers did not jump up

:12:43.:12:48.

and down on it, so we promoted the books. The painted a train red. JK

:12:48.:12:50.

Rowling arrived at King's Cross station and we got a fantastic

:12:50.:12:55.

amount of media coverage. That started to kick things off. After

:12:55.:12:58.

you have written your first bestseller, the question is, can

:12:58.:13:03.

you write another? Stephen Kelman is facing the challenge of the

:13:03.:13:08.

second book. It has come with a few added pressures. The expectations

:13:08.:13:13.

are different. Most of all, I don't want to disappoint people. I don't

:13:13.:13:18.

want to disappoint myself. I want to prove that I can repeat whatever

:13:18.:13:22.

success the first one has had. have published your bestseller. All

:13:22.:13:26.

that you have to do now is to write the next one, and the one after

:13:26.:13:32.

that, and the one after that. luck with that. Zoe, talking about

:13:32.:13:39.

Harry Potter, you played Madam Hooch. Hogwarts flying instructor.

:13:39.:13:45.

What a claim to fame. In the first Harry Potter film. That was good

:13:45.:13:50.

fun. That photograph was my first day of filming. I walked onto the

:13:50.:13:54.

green and I saw these kids standing there with broomsticks. I thought

:13:54.:14:02.

it was the best thing ever. Because it is the book. That, I suppose,

:14:02.:14:06.

when you read a book and then it comes to life like that, it is very

:14:06.:14:11.

joyous. You have had an incredible career, but your parents, both

:14:11.:14:18.

actors, did not want you to go into the profession. No. Why? Your dad

:14:18.:14:24.

was so successful. I think they know it is a very precarious and

:14:24.:14:30.

competitive situation to throw yourself into. Especially for a

:14:30.:14:34.

girl. I think for a woman, it gets harder and harder as you get older.

:14:34.:14:39.

Also, I think they were scared I was not very good. Which is a

:14:39.:14:48.

What was the turning point? I think because I really, really wanted to

:14:48.:14:52.

do it. I really wanted to do it. I went to

:14:52.:15:00.

art school. I did... I went to a secretary course for a while. I

:15:00.:15:04.

just really wanted to do it. I think when that happens you can't

:15:04.:15:09.

stop anybody. If they want to do it, then on your own head.

:15:09.:15:15.

Somebody else who is passionate is Marty Jopson. N and so far, Marty

:15:15.:15:19.

Jopson has played with begun powder and dapled with dynamite. Tonight

:15:19.:15:25.

he finds out how to launch a projectile using explosives. It is

:15:25.:15:31.

not brain surgery, is it? No, it is rocket science.

:15:31.:15:35.

Today rockets launch satellites into space, flares into the sky and

:15:35.:15:40.

even landed us on the moon, but what is a rocket? It is an

:15:40.:15:44.

explosion, a controlled and contained explosion, but still, a

:15:44.:15:51.

big, noisy explosion. Paul Mulvihill is a pyrotechnics

:15:51.:15:55.

expert who has studied the history of rockets. We have come to a

:15:55.:16:02.

testing range to see how a 1,000- year-old Chinese weapon of war

:16:02.:16:07.

rocket called a Ground Rat would scare off the enemies.

:16:07.:16:15.

The bamboo would have begun powder pushed into the end with a diffuse

:16:15.:16:23.

it would scare off the enemy. Ready? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... It is still

:16:23.:16:29.

doing something?! The Ground Rat was effective in early warfare. It

:16:29.:16:35.

works in the same way as all rockets. From this little toy to

:16:35.:16:43.

the latest rocket being developed by NASA. A rock set a tube that

:16:43.:16:48.

shoots gases out of one end. That action pushes the body out of the

:16:48.:16:54.

body of the rocket in the other direction. It is Newton's Law.

:16:54.:17:01.

As I pump air into this plastic bottle, there is so much air, the

:17:01.:17:05.

air rushes out and the rocket body bit flys in the other direction

:17:05.:17:12.

like this... That's rocket science. A British military colonel called

:17:12.:17:21.

William Congrieve saw its potential. The disused buildings in Waltham

:17:21.:17:27.

Abbey, uepbl recently, Dave Simms worked here, it makes him a proper

:17:27.:17:30.

rocket scientist. So, where did you get the

:17:30.:17:36.

inspiration for the rocket? Indians used rockets against the

:17:36.:17:40.

British in India it did cause casualties. I guess he thought that

:17:40.:17:46.

would be useful for us too. He worked night and day for five

:17:46.:17:50.

years, perfecting the design in 1806.

:17:50.:17:56.

This is a mark II rocket. With an iron case.

:17:56.:18:01.

There is a pressed charge inside. So this is all begun powder?

:18:01.:18:07.

Correct. That propels it forward. At the top end, contained in a

:18:07.:18:13.

thicker case, this would explode. So that was the bomb at the end?

:18:13.:18:18.

Exactly. Stabilised by a pole that make it is years to aim, the rocket

:18:18.:18:24.

uses two explosives, one to proel and one to explode, making it

:18:24.:18:29.

devastating. Used against Napoleon, the rocket soon spread to other

:18:29.:18:33.

wars. The most famous use was in a battle

:18:33.:18:38.

with the Americans that we had at Fort McHenry, it is commemorated in

:18:38.:18:47.

the American National Anthem. # The rockets red flare

:18:47.:18:54.

# Bursting into air... # Paul and I are making something a bit like

:18:54.:18:59.

this Congrieve rocket. We are using a pre-made begun powder rocket

:18:59.:19:03.

motor. That's the motor, we are attaching

:19:03.:19:06.

that to a stick or something? bamboo stick.

:19:06.:19:13.

So, that will go on the side there? Yes.

:19:13.:19:16.

Well, we should give it a whirl, I suppose.

:19:16.:19:26.
:19:26.:19:27.

# Setting off a rocket. # Slot it into this here... Perfect fit.

:19:27.:19:37.
:19:37.:19:39.

Here we go. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Welcome at that! That was brilliant! It was

:19:39.:19:47.

good, wasn't it? A firework display in the daytime. You can't beat it.

:19:47.:19:54.

Now, another fan of the rockets is here. Dan Snow, by the 20th century,

:19:54.:20:01.

other nations were winning the rocket race? As so often, the

:20:01.:20:08.

Americans, probably the father of modern rockets, a guy called Robert

:20:08.:20:16.

Goddard. He worked with liquid pro pull shone.

:20:16.:20:22.

That went 2.5 seconds in the air, it went 50m and crashed into a

:20:22.:20:27.

cabbage patch. Basically, that was the beginning of something big. In

:20:27.:20:32.

his life he was ridiculed, it is only know we are regarding him as

:20:32.:20:35.

the great generator of the whole thing. Who had the lead in the

:20:35.:20:41.

Second World War? The Germans weren't so. The Americans did early

:20:41.:20:47.

running, sorry, the Germans invested loads. The V2 rockets,

:20:47.:20:54.

thousands of them were launched against Britain in 1934. One in

:20:54.:21:00.

November 1934 it killed two people. It terrifying rocket. You could not

:21:01.:21:06.

shoot them down. There was nothing you could do. Developed by Tom

:21:06.:21:11.

Werner. After the war his Nazi credentials were forgotten about

:21:12.:21:16.

and he masterminded America's rockets.

:21:16.:21:19.

The man on the moon, a lot of it is down to him.

:21:19.:21:23.

On to another bombshell of a different type, Alex, it is time

:21:23.:21:30.

for you to get changed. I can't wait.

:21:30.:21:35.

Marilyn's dress, off you go. Before, that 2012 Olympics, some of

:21:35.:21:41.

the UK's athletics are seeing their dreams failing before they finish

:21:41.:21:47.

their training. Bozboz has wondered what the 1988

:21:47.:21:51.

Olympics Committee would say about that.

:21:51.:21:56.

A world-class stadium, the state- of-the-art facilities and a luxury

:21:56.:22:01.

athletes' village. That is what the whopping �9 billion budget is to

:22:01.:22:04.

bring to 2012 Olympics. Now, with all of this money being

:22:04.:22:08.

spent it would be nice to think that everything possible is being

:22:08.:22:12.

done to help Britain's top sports men and women prepare for this once

:22:12.:22:17.

in a lifetime opportunity. 00 metre runner, Richard Buck has

:22:17.:22:22.

had success on the track winning four major medals.

:22:22.:22:28.

But after the glory... Despair. UK Sport invest more than �100 million

:22:28.:22:33.

a year to support our elite athletes, but UK Athletics, the

:22:33.:22:36.

body that decides which athletes get the funding say that they can

:22:37.:22:44.

only back those with a realistic chance of fining -- finishing in

:22:44.:22:48.

the top eight of their athletic event. That means for some, like

:22:48.:22:52.

Richard, their dream means they don't get out of the starting

:22:52.:22:57.

blocks. 2012 Olympics disease not think

:22:57.:23:03.

that Richard has it in him to win one. From next month his funding

:23:03.:23:08.

comes to an end. I lost �10,000 in cash and extras

:23:08.:23:13.

such as medical insurance. It is like losing your job, but you have

:23:13.:23:18.

to turn up to work but not get paid. I am picking up extra work and

:23:18.:23:23.

training crazy hours in the morning and the evening. It is not easy.

:23:23.:23:27.

When you look at people with the funding, they don't have to

:23:27.:23:32.

compromise their training funding. Richard is not the only one

:23:32.:23:42.

suddenly facing a cash crisis. The brutal reality of being an

:23:42.:23:46.

Olympic hopeful. If you are not good enough, you will not get a

:23:46.:23:51.

penny. That is what happened to Sophie Johnston. She is ranked

:23:51.:23:55.

British number two in her judo weight, but faces her toughest

:23:55.:23:59.

fight so far. Competing for selection for next year's Olympics,

:23:59.:24:04.

having lost her funding from British Judo worth �7,000.

:24:04.:24:11.

When I got the phone call I was devastated. It will make it very

:24:11.:24:15.

difficult financially. How will you feel if you don't know

:24:15.:24:19.

make it? Hmm... I would be devastated.

:24:19.:24:23.

It has literally been everything in my life that I've been working

:24:23.:24:27.

towards. I started judo when I was seven. I went to full-time training

:24:27.:24:32.

at 18. I have been working towards this for a long time.

:24:32.:24:38.

Training 24/7 does not come cheap. Sophie's funding helped to pay for

:24:38.:24:42.

her to train with the other athletes in the gym.

:24:42.:24:48.

It is hardly a glamorous life? not really. 18 of us live here in

:24:48.:24:53.

the house sharing facilities. You are competing against people

:24:53.:24:58.

with funding? I have to work inbetween to earn the money. It is

:24:58.:25:02.

hard, but I'm determined to give it all that I can, obviously, to win a

:25:02.:25:07.

medal at the Olympics next year. Which athletes get lottery funding

:25:07.:25:11.

is reviewed every year, but by the time that next year's funding

:25:12.:25:15.

decisions are announced, the Olympics are over. Both are

:25:15.:25:19.

determined not to give up on their dream, so they are looking for

:25:19.:25:25.

sponsorship while working more hours and trying to train. Can both

:25:25.:25:30.

find inspiration from an earlier generation of athletics? Dorothy

:25:30.:25:39.

and John both kpweeted in the 1948 -- competed in the 19 48 Games.

:25:39.:25:45.

I was working, I would do an hour or so running and then go home and

:25:45.:25:51.

work at the same time. Training camps were unheard of back in 1948.

:25:51.:25:57.

Training went as far as a weekend at Butlins holiday camp. John

:25:57.:26:01.

captured this on his camera. It was more of a social gathering.

:26:01.:26:05.

We met people there we would not have met otherwise before the

:26:05.:26:09.

Olympics it was enjoyable, but it was all very primitive.

:26:09.:26:14.

I can't say that I have any sympathy for the ones who have lost

:26:14.:26:19.

their funding. I believe it's a gift. God's gift

:26:19.:26:25.

that I was able to run. So why should I accept money for it? A

:26:25.:26:32.

medal is sufficient. Back in Loughborough, Richard is

:26:32.:26:36.

not feeling sorry foyer himself. He is keeping body and soul together

:26:36.:26:40.

by stacking shelves in a supermarket. Is there a worry that

:26:40.:26:43.

the performance drops off as you are here rather than at the track?

:26:43.:26:48.

There is always a worry, but it means I have to work harder here

:26:48.:26:53.

and harder on the track to beat these people. It's the Olympics, no

:26:53.:26:58.

matter how hard it gets I will keep pushing for it. It is my dream.

:26:58.:27:03.

Good luck to all of our athletes working hard getting ready for 2012

:27:03.:27:09.

Olympics. Now, has Alex managed to get into

:27:09.:27:15.

Marilyn Munroe's dress? So many questions spring to mind. Alex, are

:27:15.:27:22.

you there? I'm here, honey bunny! Well, the leg's in. Oh, my word,

:27:22.:27:32.
:27:32.:27:34.

look at that! Looking good, Al. How does it feel? It feels amazing. Who

:27:34.:27:40.

would have thought I would be in a Marilyn Munroe's dress? Nice boys.

:27:40.:27:46.

Well, Andrew Hansford has written a book about all of the dresses,

:27:46.:27:50.

Dressing Marilyn. Tell us about this, Andrew? You look amazing in

:27:50.:27:55.

this. Stunning. I have not seen it on anybody before.

:27:55.:28:00.

This is actually marl ministerial marl's dress? Yes.

:28:00.:28:03.

-- this is actually Marilyn Munroe's dress? Yes.

:28:03.:28:10.

It is incredible. When it was new there would have been metal in it

:28:10.:28:17.

to pop it out. Let's have a look at Marilyn in the

:28:17.:28:24.

dress... See I'm not quite pulling it off like Marilyn? This is the

:28:24.:28:29.

prototype? The prototype was the first. Created so she could run

:28:29.:28:33.

around. So the fabric would have been different? No, it is exactly

:28:33.:28:39.

the same. My goodness, amazing. What about this one? This is my

:28:39.:28:42.

personal favourite. This was made for her it was made for a friend,

:28:42.:28:49.

not a movie. It is more emotive. In particular Marilyn style she went

:28:49.:28:55.

out, it was raining and she got a tyre mark up the side of it. You

:28:55.:29:02.

can see there. There is a lipstick stain also on the bottom! Now, I

:29:02.:29:07.

tried this dress on too, which was marvellous! This one fitted like a

:29:07.:29:12.

glove, but how much would the dresses cost? I could not say. Very

:29:12.:29:16.

few have been sold. It is a difficult one. The white dress did

:29:16.:29:21.

sell a few months ago for $4 .3 million.

:29:22.:29:24.

I'm so glad I did not drop coffee on this.

:29:24.:29:28.

Well, that is all we have time for, My Week With Marilyn is out

:29:28.:29:31.
