Free event: My Week With Marilyn

Did you know the Northbrook Public Library has a film club? My Week With Marilyn is their latest offering. The film is based on a memoir of a young man who lucked into a job working as an assistant on the film The Prince and the Showgirl, which was being directed by Laurence Olivier and starred Marilyn Monroe, played here by Michelle Williams. Although Williams did a good job channeling the tragic actress, I think Marilyn is a very difficult figure to interpret. There will always be some criticism about how she is portrayed physically or emotionally.
