Sorry..we listen to a lot of Chet Baker around here, but he is one sad story. The documentary about him, “Let’s Get Lost”, was a tough thing to watch.

It was so long ago, it's a bit vague in my mind. They interviewed one fellow, I guess he worked for the studio. He had known Marilyn well and was obviously fond of her. At one point he was asked about the difficulties of dealing with her. He said, in effect: In this business all you really have is the talent.
So I guess it is what it is.
