For two weeks, the area became the backdrop for the noir thriller film appropriately titled Niagara, starring Hollywood bombshell Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten. Over two weeks, locals watched as film crews transformed the area's streets into movie sets, and Monroe, who was already gaining attention in Hollywood, became just as much of an attraction as the falls themselves. Filming officially began on June 2, and Monroe arrived shortly after, on the morning of Thursday, June 5.
