Patrick, I think you have the Howard Hawks film Monkey Business mixed up with the Marx Brothers Monkey Business. She was in the Hawks film(1952). She was not in the Marx Brothers film(she was 5 years old at the time that movie came out)
referring to Marilyn Monroe.
Who doesn’t get Cary Grant and Groucho mixed up? Hawk’s film is pretty good too.
Whoops! I haven’t seen either of them for a long time.
