A script for the Marilyn Monroe drama The Misfits (United Artists, 1961) that belonged to and was heavily annotated by Monroe's acting coach Paula Strasberg. The script pages are loose in a blue paper binder.

The first page of the 147-page script is typewritten with the words "The Misfits/ By Arthur Miller / Revision - March, 1960." It also features an address label for the Strasbergs (Paula's husband Lee was Monroe's longtime mentor) and the words "7 month / FA. 9 / 3727 / area code 702" have been handwritten in ink. The screenplay features several tabs with locations of the film's scenes typewritten on labels. Strasberg's annotations have been written throughout in both ink and pencil. One one page she has written the word "whisper." On the back of another page, she has written "All strong things should be whispered." On another she has written "Something wrong with her - Paula - Lee."

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 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.
