MICHELLE WILLIAMS did a chameleon-like about face to channel MARILYN MONROE for Vogue Magazine’s latest issue. The “Blue Valentine” star will be playing the ill-fated blonde Hollywood icon in her latest film, “My Week With Marilyn.” So does Michelle make the grade or does she just look like a Madame Taussad’s wax lookalike of the real thing?
Whether she looks it or not, celebrity news noted Oscar-nominated Michelle has put some work into becoming the blonde bombshell who believed “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”
“I’d go to bed every night with a stack of books next to me,”
Michelle admitted.
“And I’d fall asleep to movies of her. It was like when you were a kid and you’d put a book under your pillow hoping you’d get it by osmosis.”
Will that help Michelle Williams get by on doing a credible representation of the incomparable Marilyn? For one, Williams doesn’t have Marilyn‘s more rotund body structure and soft facial contours. For another Monroe‘s 50′s glamour is a tough act to follow, given that there existed a hint of soulfulness in her eyes that hinted at inner vulnerability.
Let’s hope Michelle Williams has was it takes to living la vida Marilyn when the film finally sees theaters this October.
