The historic Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Oregon is celebrating Marilyn’s 98th birthday at 7 pm this Saturday, June 1st, with a ‘Dress the Part‘ screening of Some Like It Hot hosted by singer and pianist Lore Noir.
“Dust off your diamonds, and break out the blonde wigs for our third installment in the Dress the Part film series, in celebration of Marilyn Monroe’s birthday … join us dressed as your favourite character from Some Like It Hot – with bonus points for snapping a picture under the dazzling Hollywood marquee!
Marilyn sizzles on the silver screen in Billy Wilder’s cross-dressing comedy classic. When two male musicians, Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) witness the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, they masquerade as women and join an all-female band to flee from mobsters in hot pursuit. Navigating pantyhose, persistent male suitors, and affections for the band’s sweet singer, Sugar (Monroe), they embark on a high-heeled escapade full of hysterical twists and turns. Nobody’s perfect – but Some Like It Hot is.”
