Description:<br \/>\nOn October 29, 1956, one of the most remarkable celebrity encounters of the 20th century took place at the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square, London. Marilyn Monroe, who was in England filming The Prince and the Showgirl alongside Laurence Olivier, attended the Royal Film Performance of The Battle of the River Plate. Queen Elizabeth II, who had ascended to the throne just four years earlier, was present as the guest of honor. What made the moment particularly fascinating was that both women were born in 1926 \u2014 making them exact contemporaries at 30 years of age, yet living lives that could not have been more different. Monroe stood in a line of celebrities waiting to be introduced to the Queen, and the two exchanged pleasantries in what witnesses described as a warm and gracious meeting. Photographs and footage of the encounter became iconic, capturing two of the most recognizable women of the 20th century side by side in a single extraordinary moment frozen in history.<\/p>\n<p>4.
