of...the Alluring Vixen.

The illustrious and captivating vixen is making her way back into the heart of pop culture this year. 

Yes, I am talking about the alluring Marilyn Monroe. This glamour goddess is once again seen on the big screen a la Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn, a movie that explores a seemingly illusive and fanciful week between Marilyn and Colin Clark (an assistant on the set of her movie The Prince and the Showgirl). According to critics, the validity of the plot stands for questioning; was their one week alone in the countryside of Britain an embellished memory of a captivated young men, or the beginning of a relationship that never fulfilled its true romantic destiny?  What is certain for the critics is Williams' performance. Transcending into the role of America’s greatest sex icon is a daunting task to say the very least; but Williams preserved, truly capturing not only the sensual and commanding nature of Marilyn, but also her less obvious innocent and demure disposition. Ms. Monroe saw the height of her career in the 1950s, appearing in box office hits such as, Some Like it Hot, for which she received a Golden Globe. Whether she was gracing the covers of magazines, coyly keeping her blowing gown down while filming The Seven Year Itch, or circulating the Hollywood scene, Marilyn Monroe redefined what it meant to be glamourous. Give yourself 99 minutes this weekend to get lost in the dazzling world of a great American icon and decide for yourself what ending you believe. 

“My Week with Marilyn,” will be released today, 11/23, in select theatres.
