Avenue/59th Street station. The Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station of the also has a stop at Lexington Avenue, but does not have a direct interchange with the Lexington Avenue Line. In popular culture Lexington Avenue became part of a classic American cinematic moment in the 1955 movie The Seven Year Itch in which Marilyn Monroe shot what would become her most famous scene. While standing on a subway grating outside the Loew's Lexington Theatre, her skirt billowed up from the wind underneath. While the footage showing the theatre in the background appeared in the finished film, the footage featuring the subway grate shot on September 15, 1954, on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 51st Street, was more of a publicity stunt; retakes were shot on a studio soundstage, and shots from both are seen in the film. This street was also featured in the film 1408. The street is referenced in the Elton John song ‘’Island Girl’’, the first single from the album Rock of the Westies in 1976.
