Finishing the Picture is said to be loosely based on the filming of Miller's ex-wife Marilyn Monroe's last completed film, The Misfits. It centers on a distinguished director Yulin who is about to lose his picture due to the unstable behavior of a famously fragile movie star Prete. She's recognized all over the world, loved by millions, but unable to believe in herself. The studio owner Keach is threatening to pull the plug and a temperamental acting teacher Lang is flown in to coax the actress out of bed and onto the set. Fisher will play Edna Meyers, the assistant to the star.
The play, directed by Robert Falls, is scheduled to run in Chicago from September 21 through October 31. The opening is set for October 5.
