As well as meeting Monroe's friends including former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Maf also accompanied the star to acting classes and restaurants.

When she received the dog from Sinatra, Monroe decided to call it Mafia - a joke reference to Sinatra, before shortening the name to Maf, or Maf Honey.

In the book, written entirely from Maf's perspective, the canine comments: “She was an artist to her fingertips... a strange and unhappy creature, but at the same she had more comedy to her than anybody I would ever know. More comedy and more art.”

When Monroe died in August 1962 aged 36, Maf was inherited by Sinatra's secretary Gloria Lovell.

It has not yet been revealed who will be voicing Maf in the movie.

据美国官方资料披露，梦露与辛纳特拉交往甚密，梦露之死与他有莫大的关联，小狗玛法便是辛纳特拉送给梦露的礼物。在奥哈根的书中，玛法伴随梦露出入酒店等等社交场合，甚至见到了绯闻中的约翰-肯尼迪总统。

剧本借狗狗玛法的口吻谈到了对梦露的看法：“她是一位纯粹的演员，一个特立独行又闷闷不乐的美丽女人；与此同时，她的一生也充满着戏剧性。”
