Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn
It takes a brave actress to play Marilyn Monroe, but Michell Williams won a Golden Globe award for her role in the 2011 movie My Week with Marilyn. I wasn't expecting to like this movie, but she does a good job portraying Marilyn's lovely and exasperating personality.
"Should I be her now?"
The film is about a week that Marilyn spent in Britain filming The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier. Her new husband Arthur Miller had it with her after a few days and headed back to the United States. Marilyn is escorted around the country by an eager young man who manages to get a job on the film set and writes about the experience of being with her.
We've been on a bit of a Marilyn Monroe kick since we watched it. Who can blame us? She was mesmerizing. If you're a fan, a must see is the 2002 documentary Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days. It includes the about 38 minutes of footage of her final and unreleased film, Something's Got to Give.
