In July 1956, Marilyn Monroe arrived in London to make The Sleeping Prince (later released as The Prince and the Showgirl) with Laurence Olivier. When filming began, it was a disaster. Director Joshua Logan had offered advice on how to handle Marilyn as an actress, but Olivier ignored him. Marilyn grew to hate Olivier with a passion, and the feeling was mutual. She took solace in small acts of kindness from members of the public, and a new fascination with Queen Elizabeth. Marilyn made a point of asking the film's PR manager to add a royal meeting to her schedule, but each day Olivier would delete the request. Michelle Morgan describes Marilyn's trip to late-1950s' Britain in evocative detail, exploring the making of the film alongside the film star's troubled private life and her quest to meet the Queen.
