A birthday salute to U.S. President John F. Kennedy takes place at Madison Square Garden, New York City. The highlight is Marilyn Monroe's rendition of "Happy Birthday". Monroe's dress was noted for being made of a sheer and flesh colored marquisette fabric, with 2500 rhinestones sewn into it. The dress was so tight-fitting that Monroe had to be literally sewn into it; she wore nothing under it. Under the bright stage spotlight the fabric seemed to "melt away", leaving only the glitter of the rhinestone brilliance. It was designed by Jean Louis.
