I was disturbed by the fact that right off the bat, the actress who played Marilyn looks no where near Marilyn. What they did with Robin Williams in Ms Doubtfire, they could have made the actress appear more real if they had used more stage make up and all to appear more real. Most of my good friends said they thought of me when this movie came out, but replied I would never watch it because, well, didn't look like her at all.

As I was born well after her passing, I was only aware of her legacy, devoid of the details of her personal life. Hence, my discussion rests primarily on what is shared in this film and its overall themes. What is most intriguing about this story is that it is one that could be told about so many well-known actors and actresses. It is the private side we are unaware of, when consequently amplifying and focusing on terms such as "scandal" when referencing stars.
