- Rose Steinberg Wapner was the long time dialogue coach for actress Marilyn Monroe. Rose remembered Monroe on the set of Show Business with Ethel Merman, going over the same scene again and again until Wapner could see physical weakness in her eyes. It is the only film in which she observed this kind of weariness and dissipation of creative energy in Monroe.
- In 1983 she was honored with a Life Time Achievement Award by the Society of Operating Cameramen. When she found that the SOC's adopted charity was the Eye Care Clinic at the Los Angeles Childrens Hospital, Rose for years was leading fund raiser for the Society's charity. So touched by one young patient, Katie Sleeman, Rose designed a memorial plaque presented to the family at the Directors Guild.
