On June 1, 1962, Marilyn arrived on Soundstage 14 at Fox with a few gifts she had recieved from friends for her birthday. When seen showing them to co-stars, she was told by a technician, "We want you to "work" today. The picture was behind, but she was nevertheless hurt. During lunch, Evelyn Moriarty left the Fox lot and went to the Los Angeles Farmer's Market to buy a cake and card for Marilyn. She paid for them with money she had collected from people around the set. When she got back to Soundstage 14, she carried the cake onto then set. |
| "You hide that cake and don't bring it out until 6:00. We are going to get a full day's work out of that dame," an official screamed at Moriarty. |

That day Marilyn, Wally Cox,
and Dean Martin filmed the scene in which Ellen brings the shoe salesman
home hoping to convince Nick that this neardy guy was the one she was stuck
on the island with. They pulled it off after only a few takes. Wally Cox
was the only one to flub a line. At 6:00 production was wrapped for the
day.
Believing that there would be no party, Marilyn returned to her bungalow and changed out of her fur trimmed suit. At 6:30, she was summoned from her dressing room. She put on a pair of Capri pants and a black and white silk shirt. On the Courtyard set, a birthday celebration was waiting. |
| In Rome, several thousand had been spent on Elizabeth Taylor's birthday celebration. |
