This is an original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Nunnally Johnson comedy, HOW TO BE VERY, VERY POPULAR (1955) starring Betty Grablel, Sheree North, and Robert Cummings. This is the film that Marilyn Monroe refused to do for Fox. Instead, she moved to New York to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Unfortunately, Sheree North was quickly put in her place and encouraged to look and act like a Monroe clone, which undercut the effect of this otherwise cute and clever comedy. The film was a commercial failure, and Betty Grable took this lack of success as a cue to end her twenty-five year Hollywood career. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition, with only minor fold separations.
