Netflix has released the first photos and the teaser of “Blonde”, which stars Cuban actress Ana de Armas (“No Time to Die”) none other than Marilyn Monroe.
Produced by Plan B, Brad Pitt’s production company, “Blonde” is an adaptation of the book of the same name, by Joyce Carol Oates, which mixes reality and fiction to tell the story of the legendary movie star.
The 2000 book is known for details on the actress’s love affairs, but uses aliases to avoid legal action, such as “The President” for John F. Kennedy, “Ex-Athlete” for Joe DiMaggio and “The Playwright” for Arthur. Miller. In one of the scenes written by Oates, Marilyn and “The President” were exchanging caresses while Fidel Castro was on the phone …
Directed and written by Andrew Dominik (“Jesse James Killer of the Coward Robert Ford”), who had been trying to get this project off the ground for more than a decade. In 2010, actress Naomi Watts (“Diana”) was the favorite to play Marilyn.
Monroe’s childhood and adolescence, whose real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson, was marred by family problems. Her mother, Gladys, was diagnosed with schizophrenia when Marilyn was only eight and spent much of her formative years in foster care.
After working as a pin-up model, she was recruited by Hollywood. She dyed her hair blonde red and became Marilyn Monroe, making her film debut at the age of 21 in “Dangerous Age” (1947).
Over the next decade, she became a phenomenon, starring in classics such as “Girls Prefer Blondes” (1953), “The Big Brother” (1955) and “Some Like It Hot” (1959). The actress died in 1962, aged only 36, of an overdose.
The actress’s life has already inspired several film and TV productions. Most famous of her is the film “Seven Days with Marilyn” (2011) which follows her star during the production of “Prince Charming” (1957). Michelle Williams was nominated for an Oscar for portraying her as her.
“Blonde” will debut on September 23rd.
