Marilyn Metamorphosis



Being Marilyn

Ah! How wonderful does Michelle Williams look in these exquisite Annie Leibovitz photographs? They were taken for the October Issue of Vogue US, for a feature on her upcoming film, My Week With Marilyn, in which she takes on the iconic role of Marilyn Monroe. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the article, written by Adam Green, as I have always been a fan of Michelles - ever since her role as Jennifer in my childhood fav, Dawsons Creek. Of course, her love affair with the late Heath Ledger also put her right up there on my list of "Hollywood-starlets-I-would-love-to-be". I am more than excited to see this film about Marilyn Monroe and to witness the glamour and glory Michelle brings to it. 

Quoting from the article in Vogue, 

"... But the main attraction is Williams, who brings Monroe to life with heartbreaking delicacy and precision without resorting to impersonation or cliché. It’s not hard to see why the film’s director, Simon Curtis, wanted her. “Not only is she beautiful and brilliant,” he tells me, “but she brings such intellect to her work along with an intuitive grasp of character, extraordinary depth of feeling, and a kind of innate glamour—I guess we call it star quality, don’t we? For a director, it’s the dream package.”... "
