# The Asphalt Jungle (1950) gives Marilyn Monroe her first widely noticed dramatic bit under John Huston

Date: 1950

## The fact

AFI Catalog and Britannica date her Angela Phinlay appearance in Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle to the 1950 release season. Huston and MGM share the film. It is not a studio presidency.

It is one event.

## Context

Fox name contract 1946 and drops 1947 neighbour early labour.

Marilyn Monroe’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

MGM noir; Fox still controlled much of her labour destiny.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

AFI Catalog and Britannica independently credit her Asphalt Jungle appearance.

Official or archival record: AFI Catalog — Marilyn Monroe (https://catalog.afi.com/Person/129923-Marilyn-Monroe; American Film Institute).

## Significance

A noticed dramatic screen credit is an edu path for public performance learning.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1950 Asphalt Jungle credit in AFI/Britannica. Not established: day-level premiere precision beyond the release season used here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Marilyn Monroe.

They are not a public rating.

Marilyn Monroe did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Release-season date. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Marilyn Monroe.
