True worked in a shipyard, served as an aerial-gunnery instructor in World War II, acquired a small avocado ranch in the Pauma Valley.

Marilyn's entourage included a coiffure specialist who had just flown in from "doing Elizabeth Taylor," a makeup man in madras shorts, a massive masseur, a maid, a secretary, three wardrobe women (she has three copies of each dress she wears in the film), and Paula Strasberg.
