My Week With Marilyn

I'm pretty excited to see "My Week With Marilyn".  Funny, I knew nothing about this until last week.  Back in high school I did a major report on Marilyn Monroe.  I've always been fascinated with her.  Marilyn's whole story from growing up until her death.

Unfortunately, this will only focus on one person's POV with his week with her.  Still, it looks great and has a pretty awesome cast.  I must say, I think the beautiful Michelle Williams was the perfect person to cast as Marilyn.  Judging by the trailer, I think she'll do an amazing job.  Might even get another Oscar nomination.
