Marilyn Mon-NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Because every white actress with a SAG card has to terrorize the image of Marilyn Monroe by playing her, Michelle Williams is playing MM in that My Week with Marilyn movie and here she is in full MM drag on the cover of October's (Happy Halloween!) Vogue. Yes, this is Michelle Williams AS Marilyn Monroe. It's not a still from a Halloween episode of Dawson's Creek where Jen is waiting for Grams to pick her up after Henry dumps her at a costume party or some shit. It's very "Ahs juss sittin' here waitin' for my ride.... durp... durp.... durp... duuuuuuuuuuurp."
Why couldn't they get the other Michelle Williams (from Destiny's Child) to play Marilyn Monroe instead?

Hmmm, still don't really get why women pose or dress like her..guess it's an American thing?
Anyway, Michelle looks pretty ...she's uber petite and I do think she is a good and hard working actor. She was shit on Dawson's Creek, but c'mon that dialogue was incredibly dumb.
Sort of off topic, but I saw Factory Girl with Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick and was totally floored. I didn't see Sienna, I only saw Edie. Sienna nailed Edie's fragility, vulnerability, innocence and child like trust of those around her who were only exploiting her. Reminded me a lot of Marilyn Monroe.

Monroe was no actress but she had that certain something...something that ALL these bitches DON'T have.
I also hate how every ignorant fat chic talks about how curvey and volumptious Marily was, by mordern sizes she was like a 4 or 6. Scarlet Johanson has a bigger chest and more of an ass.

Yeah & Kirstie Alley is a size 6, so she claims. No celeb has EVER been honest about their weight/size, naive little man ;) Even then they had people adjust their clothes to make them feel better.

Thats not the case. I like alot of classic actresses, she wasn't one of them. I don't particularly find her all that attractive or talented. Being young has jack squat to do with it. It's reality. Not everyone is into the bullshit legendary status of Marilyn fucking Monroe, and they had bitches who did it around and before that time, who looked and did it better. THE END.

Michelle Williams is horrid.

Michelle Williams is 10 times the actress Marilyn ever was. I never really got the Marilyn obsession she is kinda pretty if you like that 10 pounds of make-up look...but she couldn't act for shit. I'd take a talented cuntress like Betty Davis over Marilyn any day.
She looks closer to Katherine Heigl than Marilyn Monroe.
She is not the MM type AT ALL. She is 100% hipster. She should have done Marilyn in ugly glasses and a drab lumpy sweater, pale legs and flip flops.

I actually like Michelle Williams as an actress but as Marliyn Monroe?! ummm dont know about that one

A few things....
Michelle Williams is beautiful with long hair, but not with the super short hair, very average. Although she looks nothing like Marilyn Monroe she is better suited for the role than Lohan, Kim Kardashian, and all these other fools that think they're the second coming of Marilyn. I personally don't think she's that interesting or unique- give me Liz Taylor any day!
And....I 100% agree with that American Apparel ad of the ugly chick with the fat bare ass being gag worthy. I hate that fucking company and their stupid ass ads.
I'll take Michelle Williams over Lindsay Lohan any day. JUST to think how jealous LL must be over this.
I don't think any of the Dawson's Creek crew are good enough actors to ever be able to lose *those* characters. MW will always be Jen, Katie Holmes (with her weird grimaces) will always be Joey,same with the guys.

MM was curvy, with big tits. Williams is a stick with a B cup at best.
FAIL.
Oy, what is this? The DC rip made me laugh more, because I now wanna see Grams slap her for this crap.
Is that a nose job or someone with a really bad grasp of photoshop? Either way - awful.

"In other news, the University of Color Me Surprised released a report today which states that water is indeed wet. Mind. Boggled" - Michael K, who else?
MW lacks sex appeal. She is just average. Not even girl next door hot, just girl who lives on the same block as you.
MM was NOT a great actress, unless you have low standards. Compare her to Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and her acting was nothing. She did have great presence though, and was nice to look at. I also found her likable on-screen.
Let's cut the crap here - she reached her Iconic status simply because she died young. Her talent was overrated because she was "troubled".
Michelle Williams, on the other hand - people only started giving a shit about her after Heath Ledger died. And her nose job is awful.
Oh please. Even her husband left her to go die alone.
-------------------------------------------------
Don't make me quote Nabokov at you. I'll do it. I promise.
Marilyn was a very, very good actress. As someone pointed out, she stole the small scene she was in in "All About Eve," and we're talking from a major league actor (George Sanders, who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for AAE).
MM also gave terrific performances in "Don't Bother to Knock," "Niagra," "Some Like it Hot," and "The Seven-Year Itch" to name just a few. She was no tits-and-ass gimmick girl--she was the real deal.
MW can certainly act but she's neither sexy nor charismatic, both of which MM was in spades.
Anyone who thinks MM was a glorified whore who slept her way to the top obviously knows absolutely nothing about the woman.
Sorry for the double-post, guys.

"She was a glorified whore who slept her way to the top, and wasn't all that great of an actress in my opinion or the raving iconic beauty people make her out to be."
I think she was unbelievably charismatic on the screen - any movie I see with her, I truly can't take my eyes off of her. Some Like it Hot, Seven Year Itch, even her small role in All About Eve - she is absolutely riveting.
I think her acting is far more interesting than her life, actually.

"She looked so beautiful in Brokeback with her hair long.
The short dos are not becoming on her."
Wow - I think the total opposite. I think she's plain Jane without that gorgeous gamine look.
I think MW is one of the most beautiful actresses out there, but she doesn't channel Marilyn in the least - young Mia Farrow, more likely. And that picture of her is soooooo awkward.
Sarah Smile
good fucking grief. she looks like an MM impersonator. Only Marilyn can play Marilyn so why don't they just give it up already? Naomi Watts will also be horrid as MM. She's a stringbean. But, yes, I too wish I could see Hohan's reaction to all this. after all, she IS the reincarnation of MM...just ask her.
Williams may have the emotional fragility to evoke Marilyn, but that chipmunk face really does not bring her to life. She has no IT and no curves.
Louise Brooks had an equally fascinating life, but much of her misfortune was her own doing, whereas MM was a bundle of psychological problems on a speeding little red wagon that crashed into a wall at age 36. Louise Brooks lived to her 70s and wrote interesting books. People want to identify more with MM because identifying with Louise Brooks hits uncomfortably close to home.

Agreed. It makes everything NSFW (or class or browsing in public) and it really doesn't entice me to buy American Apparel since all I see that they're advertising is a rear end, which they don't sell.
Jeez out of the thousands of MM wannabe sluts they had to pick this insipid stick? I'm completely
neutral about Michelle, but she is completely devoid of sex appeal, about the only only thing that MM had in spades. They should have Alice Eve instead. She has lovely breasteses.

Sigh... I guess I'm thankful that it was not January Jones.

As much as it seems to go hand in hand with the movie, this shoot and concept is so beneath Michelle Williams. Playing her in a movie is one thing but recreating Marilyn for a shoot is not her thing. I'm sure she was regretting it as she was looking into the lens
I hate to agree with Megan Fox but Marilyn was a fucking mess. Why continue to drag out her corpse? MM is the fucking Mickey Mouse of actresses.
Have no magazine editors heard of Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow or Louise Brooks? They all had great looks.

What kind of fuckery is this?
Vidz, that's cool! I dvrd the pageant but I'll watch it tomorrow. You know, I saw an itty- bitty bit of the show and I thought to myself that someone from Africa should win since it's been on a roll ever since it hosted the FIFA World Cup last year and all. Glad it came true!

Hmm Marilyn had blue eyes, maybe they didn't
notice.
Michelle Williams looks like the biggest rufie fuck on the planet meaning fucking her would be like fucking a warm dead person. I am a hetero female but still think I have a pretty good eye for what is sexy. I think they should spin it and get Salma Hayek to play Marilyn haha! At least she would have the curves and she's sexy as fuck!

I don't understand this girl's appeal: She looks like somebody trying to look like Marilyn, yet failing at it emphatically.
Annna Wintour was probably drunk.

I was entirely unaware of how sucky it would get.

yeah...what Vern said.
i have seen drag queen acts pull off a more convincing Marilyn than this trick.

wasn't Jimmy James available?
The hair color and make up are all wrong. and where's the beauty mark?
And a great part of MM' mystique was her mannerisms and IT factor no one has been able to replicate yet no matter how much peroxide they use.

"So if u don't like 'the difficult brown'.. Don't apply" - Sinead O'Connor
Marilyn Monroe was a star and then she died. Watch the original films she was in because all of these mediocre copiers are bringing her down. I agree with whoever predicted that Liz Taylor bio-movies would be the next thing.
Enough with all the MM impersonators already. Let's be honest, her legendary status is mainly based on her untimely dead. Had she lived to see old age, she probably would have been one of the lesser goddesses. If oozing sex appeal is your main thing things can get really difficult after a certain age. Only the very strong and very brave - Elizabeth Taylor, for instance - can survive physical decline in the spotlight.

Marilyn was very beautiful. Michelle Williams is not beautiful.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........
I'm fascinated by this "I don't get MM shit"
*grabs cane to poke all you youngins*
Darlings-MM became popular during the fucking Eisenhower years, when everybody was uptight and wearing girdles and corsets, and not in the fun way.
MM came along and she was sex on a stick. Open and free and voluptuous and available. This was no ice princess.
You can compare her to modern day actresses, but that is not the point. She broke the rules of modern convention with her sexuality long before the tramp stamp or the tube top were even available.
And, yes, she slept with people to get jobs, but, sorry to tell you Virginia, ALL of the stars did that. The more I think of her, the more I admire MM for taking one for the team as it were. However, having said that, as much as I adore MW I do not think she is the one to fill MM's brassiere.
