The Prince and the Showgirl

The 2011 film My Week with Marilyn depicts the week in which Monroe spent being escorted around London by personal assistant Colin Clark, during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl. The movie is largely based upon two books by Clark recounting his experiences during the production: My Week with Marilyn (2000) and The Prince, the Showgirl, and Me: Six Months on the Set With Marilyn and Olivier (1996).

Promising not to tell, Elsie then meets the Dowager Queen (Sybil Thorndike), the prince's mother-in-law, who decides she should join them for the coronation in place of her lady-in-waiting.

The production of this film serves as the backdrop for the 2011 film My Week with Marilyn.
