The River of No Return
1953 B & W Photos by Ray O'Neil.

In 1953, Marilyn Monroe was in Jasper to film River of No Return, co-starring Robert Mitchum.
While Marilyn was here, Jasper photographer Ray O'Neil managed to get a photo shoot with her. The result was a series of classic photos, some of which can now be obtained in Jasper's stores, especially Jasper Photography.
But River of No Return wasn't the only drama during Marilyn's stay: She was "asked to leave" Jasper's most exclusive hotel because she was wearing "inappropriate attire" for a lady: she was wearing shorts.
Marilyn then moved into one of the better hotels in town, but ended up leaving there also, after a row in the lobby. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called in to escort her from the hotel.
The Mounties arrived and made sure they got their woman.
