Entertainment Weekly 2012-11-01E. Maurice "Buddy" Adler (June 22, 1909 – July 12, 1960) was an American film producer and a former production head for 20th Century Fox studios.
Born in New York City, New York, he married in 1940 actress Anita Louise Fremault (1915–1970) with whom he had two children.
In 1954, his production of From Here to Eternity won the Academy Award for Best Picture and in 1956, his Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing was nominated for best picture. Adler also produced the 1956 film Bus Stop, starring Marilyn Monroe.
He was the recipient of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1957. The following year he received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures.
Buddy Adler died of lung cancer, aged 51, in Los Angeles and was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. His widow died ten years later.
Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), professionally recognized as Marilyn Monroe, was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.
After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth Century-Fox. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) drew attention to her. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to a leading role in Niagara (1953), a melodramatic film noir that dwelt on her seductiveness. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959). Monroe's last completed film was The Misfits, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller.
I told you everything was fine
You called 'bullshit'
And it's not worth money if your heart just isn't in it
You've gotta sharp mind but, I'm a bad liar
It's hardly a new disclosure
Bottle it up, it takes a bottle to get it out
So many pieces of broken glass, a razor wit
You've got a sharp tongue, but I'm not a bad guy
And I wouldn't try to fuck you over
You can't tell me in the South Seas that I'm missing out
You don't know me
You have hardly any common ground
Let's call it off, let's take the memories and run
I'll be the villain, the man with the smoking gun
I guess this is goodbye
So have a nice life
I told you everything was fine
You called 'bullshit'
And it's not worth money if your heart just isn't in it
You've gotta sharp mind but, I'm a bad liar
It's hardly a new disclosure
Bottle it up, it takes a bottle to get it out
So many pieces of broken glass, a razor wit
You've got a sharp tongue, but I'm not a bad guy
And I wouldn't try to fuck you over
You can't tell me in the South Seas that I'm missing out
You don't know me
You have hardly any common ground
Let's call it off, let's take the memories and run
I'll be the villain, the man with the smoking gun
I guess this is goodbye
So have a nice life
