My Week with Marilyn

Norma Jeane Mortenson raised as Norma Jean Baker, singer, model, showgirl and actress.
In 1945 a photographer took a snapshot of the stunning brunette while at the factory and within months she became a successful model securing dozens of magazine covers and a screen test with 20th Century Fox. Studio executives, directors and photographers immediately recognized her ability to capture and hold the attention of anyone on the opposite end of a camera lens. By the end of 1946 her hair had become a platinum shade of blonde and her name was changed to Marilyn Monroe.(http://marilynmonroe.com/history/)

“My Week with Marilyn” with Michelle Williams who won a Golden Globe for her performace looks fantastic!

“Sir Laurence Olivier is making a movie in London. Young Colin Clark, an eager film student, wants to be involved and he navigates himself a job on the set. When film star Marilyn Monroe arrives for the start of shooting, all of London is excited to see the blonde bombshell, while Olivier is struggling to meet her many demands and acting ineptness, and Colin is intrigued by her. Colin’s intrigue is met when Marilyn invites him into her inner world where she struggles with her fame, her beauty and her desire to be a great actress.” IMBD

My favorite quote from the movie…

Arthur Jacobs: “Marilyn, is it true you wear nothing in bed but Perfume?
Marilyn: “Darling, as I’m in England let’s say I sleep in nothing but Yardley’s lavender”
