“Some Like It Hot has a very special significance for me because I grew up loving Marilyn Monroe, because my mom was a big fan of hers,” she said. “And then I found out about her and I learned about her and read books by Norman Mailer, which were too much to read for a little girl. But I did it anyway, and here we are.”
“I’m so honored … to be able to say I’m a producer on this incredible, incredible show,” she continued. “Honestly, I have no words. This is magnificent. And I just want to say congratulations to everybody.” She ended her speech by wishing the audience “an incredible rest of your lives.”
