Hot Stuff, Baby

By Andrea Grimes

Published on February 14, 2008

Some things are better hot: soups, fusses, legs. Some things are not: ice cream, climate change, grandma. Some just can't help it, like Marilyn Monroe. The sex symbol oozed deliciousness even when she was all doped up singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." No surprise Some Like It Hot is so steamy, then. The other reason? Jack Lemmon in drag, a gag he wouldn't reprise until his role as Morrie in Tuesdays With Morrie. Erm, wait. That wasn't drag. That was Lou Gehrig's Disease. See Lemmon and Monroe at TCU's Thursday Night at the Movies, Thursday at 3505 Pond Drive. (164 Moudy South) in Fort Worth. Free admission, and the show’s at 7 p.m. Visit www.rtvf.tcu.edu.
