Michelle Williams has been cast to play icon Marilyn Monroe in a new movie that has recently begun shooting called 'My Week with Marilyn'.
According to The Daily Mail, the movie is based on Colin Clark's diaries about Marilyn Monroe's time in London in 1957, shooting the Laurence Olivier film 'The Prince and the Showgirl'. Clark was assigned by Olivier to keep an eye on Marilyn, and had to stay with her everyday.
The movie is scheduled to come out in 2012.

Do you think Michelle Williams will be a good match to play Marilyn Monroe? I know Michelle is an amazing actress as seen in 'Brokeback Mountain', but I imagine playing the screen goddess Monroe is going to come with a lot of expectations.
I love Marilyn Monroe, and I love Michelle Williams, but I'm not sure I can see these two coming together. I'm really interested to see this movie and see how well (hopefully) she does. ~ Susan
ReplyDeleteShe certainly looks the part, but there is always going to be a huge expectation when you're playing someone as Iconic as Marilyn Munroe.
