Working Girl
Monroe was willing to do whatever it took to get to the top, even if it meant doing some things she wasn't proud of. She frequented the offices of producers, changed up her look to be more "girl next door" and befriended gossip columnists to write about her. She also entertained male guests at Fox and became the "other woman" of Fox executive Joseph M. Schenck. She was signed to Columbia Pictures in 1948.
