Celebrating Marilyn’s 98th Birthday in Fort Lauderdale

The celebrations for Marilyn’s 98th birthday tomorrow will continue through Sunday, June 2, with Some Like It Hot showing at the Savor Cinema in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Tickets cost $25, with proceeds donated to Pink Angels, a breast cancer charity. (A second screening has been cancelled due to unforeseen events.)

Doors open at 2 pm for a celebratory reception, with the film starting at 3 pm. The programme includes a documentary short, My Day With Marilyn, retelling the story of Sam Heller, a 17-year-old waiter who fell into a police sidecar and found himself inches away photographing Marilyn at the 1952 Miss America Parade in Atlantic City.

And finally, Sam and his filmmaker daughter Stephanie Heller will give a talk after the screening.
