Daily Picture - Joan to play Marilyn?

This rare picture from 1973 of Joan as Marilyn Monroe. Reports at the time were that Joan was to play Marilyn in a new play written by David Butler called "Legend" (not to be confused with the 2007 American tour).

To my knowledge the play never went into production.

In her one woman show, Joan spoke about how she met Marilyn in the 1950's at a party given by Gene Kelly.
