Michelle Williams dazzles as the original blonde bombshell in My Week With Marilyn
It was recently announced that Marilyn Monroe inspires Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming Playboy spread, which features “very classy” full–frontal nudity.

Michelle Williams gives a multifaceted performance as the troubled superstar.
