Marilyn Monroe and Michelle Williams side by side

Very neat how they synched up the videos perfectly. Williams in "My Week With Marilyn" and Monroe in "The Prince and the Showgirl."

In all honesty, i wasnt sure about michelle williams in the role of Marilyn, but hen i watched it, i thought she did a wonderful job; as good as you can when playing one the the most iconic women in history.

awesome michelle was pure awesome.

yeah heigle would be the better choice, michelle williams is no marilyn, marilyn was voluptuos williams has a skinny boy figure and didnt pull off those monroe outfits at all, she looked horrible in them, wheras heigle has that nice thick voluptuos body like marilyn, face wise williams just doesnt cut it either, shes simply not even close to marilyn monroe but then again who is?

I'm pretty sure Michelle did a wonderful job and I really wanna see this movie. But looks wise, I think Katherine Heigl would nail it BIG TIME! Look at the resemblance for crying out loud!!!!

@bennbed Mkay, I haven't seen this movie yet even though I really want to; But really? How could Michelle do a better job than Marilyn Monroe when Marilyn was the original actor in The Prince and the Showgirl? Marilyn is the original job of it <3

@dejahthoris Um, because it's Michelle's job to copy people who aren't her?

[dejahthoris]

Not! Why try to copy an icon! Disgusting.

@EABellRNCLNC Right she does not look like Marilyn, in my opinion she is just shy and dowdy and vulnerable whereas Marilyn was shy.vulnerable and childlike but with sex appeal get it.In my opinion I think Britney Spears physically without even trying resembles Marilyn a lot and should play her in a movie or something they are both sexy but childlike, innocent and vulnerable, if Michelle Williams wants to play a Hollywood icon how about Ms. Debbie Reynolds shes cutesy wootsy like Michelle.

[cinderelmo]

I think its wonderful that Michelle Williams played studied Marilyn so well good for her but somebody who reminds me of a modern day Marilyn and looks a lot like her without even trying is Britney Spears cause they both are sexy at the same time but have this childlike innocence and vulnerability, I think Britney does remind me of Marilyn and could play her in a film in my opinion. Oh well but it makes so sad that Marilyn had to die so young and so pretty she really was a candle in the wind.

She misses upper lip a bit, otherwise, brilliant!

Marilyn Monroe was one in a million x's infinity. Michelle Williams did a most splendid job.

I think the reason most people sadly reject Michelle's portrayal is becasue they are looking for THE Marilyn Monroe and in case anyone forgot she is dead...Michelle I think did the best portrayal possible as far as she is concerned. Her easy swings from high and lows feels real and effortless and so very much the woman she was portraying. Michelle could never BE Marilyn but she got as close I think as anyone will ever get.
