# Fox fires Monroe from the unfinished Something’s Got to Give

Date: 1962

## The fact

In June 1962 Fox dismissed [Monroe](/people/marilyn-monroe) from Something’s Got to Give, leaving the picture unfinished under her heading.

It is one event.

## Context

A halted starring picture is a labour-market shock for the named player and for unnamed crew. Do not treat crew harm as her intended welfare action; responsibility stays bounded.

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.

George Cukor directed the unfinished Fox picture. Absences and studio accounting are disputed in later memoirs. Firing is a studio labour-discipline act, not stored as her exploitation of a crew.

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 unfinished-film chronology and Britannica independently record the 1962 Fox dismissal.

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

## Significance

A studio firing from an unfinished picture is a labour-constraint path. Confidence high on the dismissal, medium on attendance tallies.

## What is established and what is not

Established: June 1962 Fox firing from Something’s Got to Give. Not established: a unique minute-by-minute set log 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.

The driver `labour-market-tightness` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. 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. A firing is not a coroner’s verdict. Split 8 June from 5 August. 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.
