Marilyn Monroe campaigned heavily to be cast, but was rejected by Sir Alfred Hitchcock because he feared her immense fame would overshadow everything else. As a person who enjoyed strict control over his projects he passed on her, even though he had been on her approved list of directors to work with. A few years before she had starred in Niagara (1953), a film that was directed in such a Hitchcockian style by Henry Hathaway, that years later some mistakenly assumed it was. The similarities in structure and layout is quite interesting, and one wonders if Hitchcock was indeed a little influenced by it when making "Vertigo". That the character is named Madeline and commits suicide is also quite fascinating when one considers Monroe's own fate. That the two of filmdoms most legendary figures were never collaborate together will always be on of the great "what ifs" of cinema.
