The film’s sole main role was that of Richard Sherman (Tom Ewell), a rumpled middle-aged who works at a book publishing company.
Ironically, though Marilyn got lead billing, she really played more of a supporting character in Itch. While I didn’t think it was a gem, I found Itch to be one of the better Monroe films of the few I’ve seen. Since Itch was actually a pretty good flick, that wasn’t terribly difficult. Miraculously, I was able to put my patented form of righteous indignation behind me as I watched The Seven Year Itch and tried to enjoy the movie. While she’d appeared in films prior to that, none of them had much of an impact, and since animated movies require many years of lead-time before their release, it seems unlikely that the artists would have seen this obscure actress and said “There’s our Tink!” The legend assumes that when the animators designed Tinkerbell, Marilyn was already a star, but that clearly could not have been the case had Peter Pan hit screens a few years later, then it becomes more possible, but under the circumstances, it seems extremely unlikely. Peter Pan hit screens in 1953, which was the same year during which Monroe first hit it big. Simple logic would also indicate that Marilyn would not have been an influence behind the character’s design. According to John Grant’s splendid book Encyclopedia of Walt Disney’s Animated Characters, Tink was actually modeled after an actress named Margaret Kerry. This story has received a lot of press over the years, and it’s a terrific tale except for one small problem: it’s not true. On the mailing for 1955’s The Seven Year Itch, we’re told that Marilyn was the inspiration for the visual design of Tinkerbell in Disney’s animated version of Peter Pan. I got one card apiece for the package’s five movies, and each one included some trivia tidbits about the legendary star. Time to debunk some corporate misinformation! To promote their “Diamond Collection” set of Marilyn Monroe DVDs, Fox sent out promotional postcards.
