From 'Conversations with Billy Wilder' - Cameron Crowe

" There's a very good joke about Marilyn Monroe when she married Henry Miller.. They were engaged then. He said," I would like you to meet my mother, she would like to see you.

So i thought we'd go to her little apartment in the Bronx, we'll have a little dinner, and she'll get to know you." And Marilyn said," Wonderful, wonderful." So they go there to that tiny little apartment, with a kind of very flimsy door between the living room and the toilet. They're having a very good time , they get , along great, and then Marilyn Monroe says she's got to go to the WC, the toilet. And she goes , and because the walls are thin , she turns on all the faucets so they would not hear it in the next room. Now she comes out, and everything's beautiful, kiss, kiss, kiss. Next day Arthur calls the mother and says, " How did you like her ? " And the mother says, " She's sweet, a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful girl, but she pisses like a horse ! "
