Michelle Williams in character, photographed by Annie Leibovitz for American Vogue, October 2011.
Marilyn and new husband Arthur Miller (played by Dougray Scott) in a scene from the film.I have always been an admirer of Marilyn Monroe, I read everything and anything I could get my hands on over the years.
Set in 1956 and based on a memoir written by Colin Clark, a third assistant director on The Prince and the Showgirl, the movie Marilyn was in London to make along side British thespian Sir Laurence Olivier.Watch the trailer for the film below:I have read some interviews with Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh (whom I adore) and it has given me even more incentive to see it because they both seem to be so invested in their respective roles.
Biopics always face a tough audience because they are either going to be judged and scrutinised by die-hard fans. This is the first film about Marilyn to be made in some time, just when you thought there are no tales left to tell...
Personally, I can't wait.
Kisses!
