How To Be Very, Very Popular was meant for Marilyn but Miss Monroe turned down the project. So Twentieth Century Fox gave it to Sheree North instead as a vehicle to launch her career. They pulled all the stops on this one and peppered the movie with some of the finest comedians that worked with Marilyn in the past, including the lovely Miss Betty Grable(in her very last film). In it, Miss North captured the audience all over the world with her spectacular dance number on the tune of Shake, Rattle and Roll. It has been said that it was the very first Rock and Roll dance ever. Miss North and Miss Grable was a very good and entertaining tandem if not as good as Miss Jane Russell and Miss Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefers Blondes. Entertaing movie from Twentieth Century Fox.
