Marilyn Monroe, Husband In England Airport Is Jammed By Curious Britons LONDON (UP)—Marilyn Monroe arrived in Britain today wearing a revealing beige dress and pushed away microphones with .the pronouncement that she liked to talk to men “personally." - Airport officials treated | the Hollywood movie star like a queen for the day. “It’s wonderful to be in Eng' land," Miss Monroe said as shd leaned against a teacounter in the airport building after clearing customs. Husband Arthur Miller sheltered Miss Monroe with a protective arm as she stepped out of her overnight plane from New York and peered at the rain through sunglasses. She was wearing a tightfitting beige dressapd carried a cream-colored raincoat over her arm. ” "I,” she breathed, "Would like to talk to reporters personally.” Loud laughter rolled from the newsmen packed 16 deep around the tea counter for the news conference. 1 "I want to see as much of your country as I can,” she said. Somebody in the rear of the crowd kept shouting, "Two orangeades please.” It got so bad that questioners shouted their inquiries to Sir Laurence Olivier whd is to star with her in a forthcoming film. Olivier repeated the questions to Miss Monroe and then shouted the answers back with his famed Shakespearean diction knifing through the noise. Miss Monroe is working on a new picture, “The Sleeping Prince.” Miller will work on the British production of his play, “A View From the Bridge.” Miller, is visiting England on a six-month passport. He faces possible contempt of congress charges for refusing to answer questions concerning his associates during l the time he admittedly was a member of the Communist party.
