"Blonde" Director Reveals Ana de Armas' Most Difficult Moments On Set As Marilyn Monroe
Cuban actress Ana de Armas stunned as Marilyn Monroe in the fictional biopic of the actress and pinup model. "Blonde" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, but hardly anyone can deny that Ana delivered a great performance. She and the film's director gave some insight into what it was like working on the movie together.
When Blonde premiered in Venice, the audience delivered a 14-minute standing ovation, which was fitting considering the fact that the director Andrew Dominik spent the last 14 years making this film a reality. It was based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, and although it wasn't a complete truth of Marilyn's life, it offered the audience a look into the abuse, trauma, and loneliness she experienced while being one of the most recognizable faces on the planet. Ana de Armas opened up about the work that it took to bring this movie to life.
