The secret scene was filmed for the 1961 movie, The Misfits, starring Clark Gable. It shows Monroe dropping a bed sheet that is covering up her naked body in a love scene with Gable, Deadline reports.
Monroe would have been the first Hollywood actress to appear nude in a major film, but the scene never made the final cut, as director John Huston reportedly thought it was unnecessary to the story. However, producer Frank Taylor recognized its significance and saved the footage.

1997 CU26/10199 Chariklo is the largest confirmed centaur. It orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus, grazing the orbit of Uranus. On 26 March 2014, astronomers announced the discovery of two rings (nicknamed Oiapoque and Chui), around Chariklo by observing a stellar occultation, making it the first known minor planet to have rings.
Chariklo was discovered by James V. Scotti of the Spacewatch program on February 15, 1997. Chariklo is named after the nymph Chariclo the wife of Chiron and the daughter of Apollo.
Centaurs originated in the Kuiper belt and are in dynamically unstable orbits that will lead to ejection from the Solar System, an impact with a planet or the Sun, or transition into a short-period comet.
