Ana de Armas is all set to bring to the silver screen the life story of veteran actress Marilyn Monroe with her upcoming historical psychological drama “Blonde.”
The movie is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, and is based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates.
Interesting fact is, Ana and the Blonde’s entire crew took the late actress’ permission before production started.
Truly, they did it in the sweetest way possible. According to the actress, their team visited the late actress’ grave to kinda ask her permission.
Revealed during a recent conversation with AnOther magazine, Ana de Armas said that she left a handwritten card on Marilyn Monroe’s grave in Westwood Village Memorial Park on the first day of production on Blonde.
The actress mentioned, “We got this big card and everyone in the crew wrote a message to her. Then we went to the cemetery and put it on her grave.”
Further, Ana de Armas added, “We were asking for permission in a way. Everyone felt a huge responsibility, and we were very aware of the side of the story we were going to tell — the story of Norma Jeane, the person behind this character, Marilyn Monroe. Who was she really?”
Besides, talking about the movie – Blonde, it reimagines the life of Marilyn Monroe, from her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane through her rise to stardom.
