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. While I am sure “some find it hot” to see LiLo in the buff, I doubt these photographs will have anything on My Week With Marilyn in the classy department. Director Simon Curtis’ biographical drama about the iconic Marilyn Monroe explores the tumultuous British set of her 1957 comedy The Prince and the Showgirl, which was directed by and co–starred Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh). The story is told through the eyes of 24–year–old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), who is the set’s third assistant director and whose memoirs inspired My Week With Marilyn’s screenplay. Michelle Williams gives a multifaceted performance as the troubled superstar.
