A bound collection of more than 30 mimeographed half pages containing Monroe's dialogue for the film The Misfits (United Artists, 1961). Many of the pages feature annotations in pencil in Monroe's handwriting. The green paper cover is affixed with a label that reads "Marilyn Monroe Miller." Monroe has drawn lines through some of the dialogue and among her annotations are the following: "Stretch like a cat / see painted / follow him like kitten" and "we've had a wonderful night / and things have been easy for us - / shield eyes looking up bright to see / is the plane coming in / listening - dor it." On the back inside cover are the words "Nothing is coming / but at least I can / make the (an) effort" and "My thought are any place / I Marilyn (possibly Rosilyn [sic]) wants / to put them." Also written in ino are the words "Copied : July 30, 1960."

The Misfits chronicled Roslyn (Monroe), a recent divorcee in Reno, Nevada, who befriends a group of "misfits" that includes an aging cowboy (Clark Gable) and a weary rodeo rider (Montgomery Clift). The John Huston-directed, Arthur Miller-scripted movie became notorious for its behind-the-scenes problems, culminating with shooting being shut down while Monroe was hospitalized and the end of her marriage to Miller. Gable would die a few weeks after shooting wrapped and this would prove to be Monroe's final completed film. Although The Misfits was considered a disappointment at the time of its release, its stature has grown over the years.
