Now, the woman who plays the legendary entertainment icon has opened up about the project.
“Andrew’s [Dominik] ambitions were very clear from the start – to present a version of Marilyn Monroe’s life through her lens. He wanted the world to experience what it actually felt like to not only be Marilyn, but also Norma Jeane. I found that to be the most daring, unapologetic, and feminist take on her story that I had ever seen, ”de Armas explained to Netflix Queue when talking about the highly anticipated film.
