Fox released Bus Stop in 1956 with Monroe as Cherie, the first major dramatic starring film after the MMP settlement. This Fact is that public performance instrument, not The Prince and the Showgirl and not a unique Oscar tally.

Context

Marilyn Monroe’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

Joshua Logan directed from William Inge. MMP’s new approval rights shape the public claim that this is a ‘serious’ part. She is the named Cherie, not Inge.

What the sources establish

AFI Catalog and Britannica independently date Bus Stop as a 1956 Monroe starring film.

Established: 1956 Bus Stop starring release. Not established: that notices equal a unique acting-school coefficient.

Marilyn Monroe did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. Cherie is not Lorelei. Keep 1953 musicals distinct from 1956 Inge. Cherie is not Lorelei.
