Marilyn’s fraught relationship with Laurence Olivier, her director and co-star in The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), heads up a 3-page story on battling screen couples in the April issue of Yours Retro (#86, with Gregory Peck on the cover.)
Also featured are Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren in A Countess From Hong Kong (1967), and Olivier – again! – at odds with Joan Fontaine in Rebecca (1940.)
Coming up in the next issue of Yours Retro – due out on May 8 – is an in-depth look behind the scenes of The Seven Year Itch, turning 70 on June 1 (which also happens to be Marilyn’s 99th birthday.)
And finally, the definitive book on the MM-Larry clash – and more – is Michelle Morgan’s When Marilyn Met the Queen.
