Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to perform in Hollywood's most popular nightclub, The Mocambo.

Marilyn Monroe, who was a big fan, called the owner and explained that if he booked Ella, she would be there every night, which guaranteed huge press coverage.

He booked Ella and Marilyn was there, front table, every single night as promised. #PastTimes
