Marilyn Monroe on a piano in ‘Some Like It Hot’

Marilyn Monroe, as a member of an all-female band, poses atop a piano in a scene from the 1959 comedy Some Like It Hot. The film, directed by Billy Wilder, paired Monroe with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in what is typically called a "madcap romp." Marilyn Monroe was born in 1926, so she turned 33 the year the film was released.
