...Yeah, I could see Theron as Marilyn. Definitely.<br /><br />Interestingly, Andrew Dominik is rumored to be adapting Joyce Carol Oates's fictional Monroe memoir BLONDE with Jessica Chastain rumored to be in the running to play Monroe. I like Chastain but I don't know if I see her as Monroe.<br /><br />You are welcome. Great minds think alike as I am going through your blog.

I will admit to having been put off by her attempting to play Marilyn Monroe for many of the reasons you stated early on in your review. It's good to hear that she does a good job!<br /><br />I like Monroe but am picky on herAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-82628825757995004472015-02-05T09:37:43.297-08:002015-02-05T09:37:43.297-08:00Hi William - You are so right that Monroe is the b...Hi William - You are so right that Monroe is the best thing about Prince and the Showgirl, even though it's not a very good movie at all in my opinion. She's a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stodgy and old fashioned and creaky film, directed by and starring Sir Olivier.<br />I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by Michelle Williams and company in this film...it and she are angelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-18012521477611743002015-02-05T09:00:37.020-08:002015-02-05T09:00:37.020-08:00I will have to seek this out.

She was a very adept comedienne.

I'd seen her on television but she never made much of an impression on me until I was in high school and in the full throes of the nostalgia craze.<br />Like every other teenager then (and even now, if Tumblr is any indication)i thought I unearthed something unseen and special in Marilyn that Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.com
