Ridiculous choice to play Marilyn Monroe


Big fan of hers, but which studio idiot decided to cast a Cuban actress to play one of the whitest celebs ever?

Check the pictures. She looks perfect.

Listen to that accent though.

And RDJ looked perfect as a black character in Tropic Thunder. Should they keep going that route?

It's in her eyes. I'm a big fan of hers as well, but I would've preferred someone else.

She is still white even though she's Cuban. I wouldn't say it's a "ridiculous" choice. Seems like she'll put on a good performance and I think she actually looks like Marilyn Monroe.

reply

Yup. Look at the stills. She looks very much like Monroe, plus she is a good actress. Biopics are a gamble though. For every Patton or Lawrence of Arabia, you get a Beyond the Sea or Elvis.

I like Ana and have to see this before I can decide if she was a good or bad choice to play Marilyn Monroe. But yesterday I saw Gemma Arterton playing Marilyn in the funny short comedy "It's Me, Sugar".

And from all I have seen and reports I read about Marilyn, Gemma nailed her to a "T".

Nothing to do with race, it’s because of her tits.

They are nice and perky and she’s willing to show them

reply

Yeah! They should have picked a natural blond!
