The White Dress In The Seven Year Itch

Is there a more iconic movie still than Marilyn Monroe standing on top of the subway grate with her white dress blowing in the wind? The backstory here is not a very happy one. As they were shooting this scene from The Seven Year Itch, the actress was dealing with hordes of fans trying to get a look at her underwear. If you ask us, the reaction of her spouse was even worse than that. Joe DiMaggio was not pleased when he realized what they were making his wife do on the set. It is said that he hurt her in the hotel once they wrapped up filming for the day. In any case, they divorced a month after this.

The Fur Bikini In One Million Years B.C.

The fur bikini from One Million Years B.C. turned Raquel Welch into a sex symbol in the blink of an eye. She did not really do a whole lot in the movie aside from being pretty, so this is quite the feat. In a recent article, Variety said, “Miss Welch gets little opportunity to prove herself an actress, but she is certainly there in the looks department.” The actress did not want to put the bikini on or even work on the movie. As a matter of fact, she assumed that it would flop. Despite this, she is not ruling out the idea of wearing it again. “I’m not sure if I will ever wear [the bikini] again, but you never know. Perhaps one day the script will drop through the door for Two Million Years B.C.” she told the Sunday Post in 2020.
