# Some Like It Hot is released with Monroe as Sugar Kane opposite Lemmon and Curtis

Date: 1959

## The fact

In 1959 Some Like It Hot was released with [Monroe](/people/marilyn-monroe) as Sugar Kane Kowalczyk. The dated public instrument is that theatrical comedy, later an AFI-ranked film, not a unique on-set medical chart and not a 1953 Fox musical twin.

It is one event.

## Context

A canonical comedy is a cohesion-and-repertoire object. Production-delay lore is not stored as her harm to crew in this catalog.

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.

Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond wrote and Wilder directed for United Artists/Ashton. She is the named Sugar, not the sole author of the farce.

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’s star-and-film lists and Britannica’s film article independently identify the 1959 release and her role.

Official or archival record: AFI’s 100 Years…100 Stars (https://www.afi.com/afis-100-years-100-stars/; American Film Institute).

## Significance

A mass comedy still in public circulation is a cohesion path. Confidence high on the release.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1959 starring comedy under her name. Not established: a unique crew-overtime welfare series from set lore.

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 `social-cohesion` 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. Sugar Kane is not a Fox blonde mill autograph of 1953. Wilder’s picture is a different shop. 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.
