Ursula and Bob have a Cozy Christmas

Ursula Reading a Script

Is hoping to get her eight-year-old son here from Germany by Christmas so he can join her. Bob Taylor, and his sister for the holidays.  The boy’s travel was held up by an appendectomy.  It’ll be curious to see Bob with two children on his hands and living in a new house of his own.  He was never very much of a family man even when married to Barbara Stanwyck.

Shelley Winters and Marilyn Monroe shared an apartment in the 1940s and 1951. According to Shelley, they also shared a bathing suit for photos and a mink coat for dates. It's also thought that she taught Marilyn to act sexy "by tilting her head back, lowering her eyes, and ever-so-slightly opening her mouth" (Source: http://www.nndb.com/people/859/000022793/)
