Almost one year ago today, the first photograph of actress Michelle Williams made up to look like Marilyn Monroe was released to the public.
Williams appeared to be completely transformed in the Hollywood icon, with her platinum curls, fuller face, and signature beauty mark.
But it is one thing to look like a legend, and it's another to portray her on screen.
And now we can see and hear Williams as Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, based on the true story of Colin Clark, who got to know the star when she work on a film in England in 1956.
The film presents Williams with a two distinct acting challenges: to copy Monroe's bubbly, flirty public persona that movie fans know, and to shed light on the hidden, emotional side the star kept from the public.
To get to the core of the character, Williams immersed herself in all things Marilyn. She spent six months consuming every movie, book, recording, photograph, and personal letter she could find.
She said, "I'd go to bed every night with a stack of books next to me. And I'd fall asleep to movies of her,"
