In 1955, eager to take control of her own career and embroiled in legal matters with Fox, Marilyn Monroe and photographer Milton Greene formed an independent film company, Marilyn Monroe Productions (MMP). The smashing success of The Seven Year Itch earned Monroe and her company a new measure of clout and respectability, giving them the opportunity to work on Bus Stop and produce The Prince and the Showgirl from start to finish. Personal and professional ties between Monroe and Greene began to deteriorate in the summer of 1956, however, when Arthur Miller accused Greene of undermining his wife in order to further his own financial interests. In the spring of 1957, after refusing a $500,000 buyout offer for his minority interest, Greene sold his stock for $100,000, ending their relationship. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
