For A Scene she was shooting for Some Like it Hot in 1959, Marilyn Monroe was supposed to enter a room , walk to a dresser , rummage through the drawers , find a bottle of wine , and ask for a drink .
She got the line wrong 47 times in a row- although far from the famously forgetful movie star’s record of 82 takes. “ On the forty sixth take ,” recalled director Billy Wilder , “ I told her we had put the line on pieces of paper , and they were in a drawer she would open.”
Unfortunately , according to Wilder, “ she went to the wrong piece of furniture.”
