Marilyn Monroe's personal script notes from The Seven Year Itch are full of insights, particularly those regarding the famous subway grate scene. One of note: her ‘Marilyn persona’ has often been described as a child-woman, it’s interesting to see that she used this specific term here herself.

​\"This is everything there is in the world.\" \"Light & easy. Everything flies out of her.\"Not all of the pages are available online but transcripts of some notes of interest are. These two are in reference to her character and the subway grate scene:"Newborn - the baby looking at the moon for the first time""Child w/a woman. Direct & fem[inine]. Open."I find this one from the final page the most interesting:"Play The Girl open and free, and it shall help me, Marilyn to be free, direct, open, honest, frank, charming - fresh, a twinkle, only morality, nature, a moral child."\"The whole world to be or not to be.\" \"Everything is important to her.\" via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3EXQMMG
