    • Facts about her role in and publicity for The Outlaw.
    • Why she was known as, "The Motionless Picture Actress."
    • The true life parallels between Marilyn Monroe and Jane.
    • Jane's relationship with Marilyn, both on and off the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
    • Their cement ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
    • The impact Marilyn and Jane had on each other's careers.
