They're all very kind to each other. They all seem genuinely interested in what the other had to say. That's nice to see. :)

@Dream1ng she said Marilyn had a stutter. That's when you stumble on your words and are unable to make a coherent sentence. Some develop a stutter via a traumatic experience. I'm surprised they didn't go into it deeply, since Colin Firth (who's sitting right there and says "Really?") played and won the Oscar as Queen Elizabeth II's father, King George the VI, who had a terrible stutter. That's the whole point of the movie THE KING'S SPEECH. He had to overcome it.

HORRIBLE SHE LOOKS LIKE A DUCK!!! THEY SHOULD OF USED SUSAN GRIFFITHS AS MARILYN MONROE SPREAD THE WORDDDDDD!!!!!! SEARCH HER SUSAN GRIFFITHS AS MARILYN MONROE

to play a great dancer, singer, comedienne and beauty is quite bold of her since michelle needs an actual pulse. she barely reads on the screen.

this is just to sell FBI collaborator and woman hater, arthur miller, as a human being and an artist, both of which he wasn't.

@Mech2nr No, I meant what I said. When Marilyn performed in a movie, she was Marilyn (Norma Jeane) playing Marilyn, the public persona she created, playing whatever character she was playing, say The Girl, in 7 Year Itch? Do you know what I mean?  I mean that Michelle probably had to consider these layers.
