Blonde bombshell, screen star, fashion darling, sex symbol, pop culture icon—these are just some of the phrases used to describe Marilyn Monroe in the sixty years since she burst onto the Hollywood scene. Given that Marilyn was all these things and more, it is hardly surprising that the upcoming movie about her life, My Week With Marilyn, is one of the most highly anticipated films in the months leading up to the Oscars. Set in England, the movie chronicles a week in Marilyn’s life during the summer of 1956, a week she spent exploring London with Colin Clark, an assistant on the set of her latest film. Intrigued? With Michelle Williams playing the part of Marilyn, it is hard not to be. My Week With Marilyn opens on November 23.
