Angelina Jolie could very well morph into Marilyn Monroe for a brand new biopic of the dead actress. Angelina Jolie has been named as a the new Marilyn for a movie based off the book, The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe. Yes. A book has been written about Marilyn Monroe from her dog’s perspective in the last two years of her life.
more Angie after the hop…
Regardless of the fact that book could probably be about three paragraphs long and sum up what Maf was thinking, the powers-that-be could very well turn this into a feature film starring Jolie as Marilyn.
“Production on the film is due to start soon, the Times reports. The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe follows Monroe’s last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf, a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.
According to the book’s description, Maf – short for Mafia – met several famous faces from the era, including President John F. Kennedy. The dog also accompanied Monroe to acting classes, restaurants, department stores and to Mexico for her divorce from playwright Arthur Miller.
“Marilyn was a strange and unhappy creature, but at the same time she had more natural comedy to her than anybody I would ever know,” observes Maf, who was 3 when Monroe died in 1962 at age 36.
This is so stupid. But another note – the article says Christina Hendricks was also optioned to play Marilyn Monroe. Now that would be good casting. Angelina just isn’t soft and curvy enough.
What do you thnk?

Wow, now this one I would have never thought of. If they do chose her for the role, I can’t wait to see how it is pulled off.
