MY WEEK WITH MARILYN

I have always been fascinated with Marilyn Monroe even though she died when I was eight years old.  I've read every book and thought I knew every story until I saw this movie.  I knew what a pain in the neck she was to Sir Lawrence Oliver during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl" but I did not know the story I saw today.  And, what a good one it was!

I liked Michelle Williams back when she was on "Dawson's Creek" and have seen all of her Academy Award nominated performances.  She is truly a great actress.  I felt that she would again fail to bring home the statute this year as it is the year of Viola Davis.  Now I wonder.
