Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe

You’ve seen Naomi Watts debuting her Marilyn Monroe look on French magazine Madame Figaro last year. Now here is Michelle Williams’ first look as the legendary blonde bombshell for her new film My Week with Marilyn.

In this picture released by The Weinstein Company, the Oscar-nominated actress did her best Marilyn impersonation complete with blonde curls, red lips and Monroe's famous beauty mark and dreamy expression. The 30-year-old is set to portray the late screen legend in the film that is based on Colin Clark’s memoir. The book tells about Monroe’s week-long escapade from Hollywood into British life, accompanied by Clark, back in 1956.

The principal photography for the film commenced yesterday and will go on for seven weeks in and outside Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, England. Joining Williams will be a cast comprising some of the finest thespians in England, such as Judi Dench, Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh, Dominic Cooper, Julia Romond, as well as Harry Potter star Emma Watson.
