Marilyn Monroe: which actresses played the icon before Ana de Armas on Netflix?


Before Ana de Armas in the film “Blonde” on Netflix, which actresses also played the legendary Marilyn Monroe in the cinema?

Adaptation of the eponymous novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde by Andrew Dominik offers us a dive inside the very myth of Marilyn Monroe, the embodiment of Hollywood glamor but whose beauty hid many intimate flaws. An uncompromising film, delivered in its raw state, and whose subversive nature of certain scenes led to a ban on Netflix for those under 18.

Slipping into the skin of the most famous actress in the world would not be easy for any actress, but the challenge nevertheless seems to have been taken up by Ana de Armas. The 34-year-old actress is however not the first to have lent her features to Marilyn, since the latter has been the subject of several biopics in the past, in the cinema heard, but also on television.

Find out which other actresses played Marilyn Monroe before Ana de Armas in the film Blonde, to discover now exclusively on Netflix!
