Stella Stevens was the first choice for the title role but turned it down as she disliked the comparisons made between herself and Monroe early in her career.

ABC was threatened with legal action by several interested parties related to Marilyn Monroe upon announcing plans to telecast this film.

Shelley Winters, who appears in this thinly veiled biography of Marilyn Monroe's life, in fact lived with, and was very good friends with, Monroe for a time in the 1940s, when the pair were budding young actresses.

This was the first TV-movie produced by Columbia Pictures Television.

Connie Stevens filmed full nude scenes (her first) for the movie. They were edited out for the airing on ABC, though word got out and the missing footage was well documented in the press. The footage was added back to a version shown theatrically in Europe.
