Angelina Jolie is NOT playing Marilyn Monroe. There were rumors that Angelina had the role in the biopic and George Clooney would play Frank Sinatra’s part. What a fantasy, huh?

More pictures of Angelina after the ruse…

Angelina is pretty busy, but she has done a couple of movies in between birthing babies. Why didn’t she want this role?

The LA Times’ Ministry of Gossip has confirmed that Angelina Jolie is not attached to star as Marilyn Monroe in the adaptation of author Andrew O’Hagan’s novel The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe. The Daily Mail reported that O’Hagan (Be Near Me) had recently revealed that Jolie had beat out Scarlett Johansson and Christina Hendricks for the role.

Christina Hendricks would be ideal for this role! She has the naturally curvy figure and the Hollywood buzz around her right now is hot! Angelina is just too thin for the role. Who do you think should play Marilyn – Scarlett or Christina?
