Actress: Charlize Theron, my pick for the Marilyn Monroe Movie.

No disrespect to Michelle Williams, but in my opinion.. I would have loved to have seen Charlize Theron, get the part in the new movie.. My Week With Marilyn Monroe. I think that she looks more like, Marilyn Monroe.

Charlize Theron(born 7 August 1975). At the age of sixteen, Theron travelled to Milan after winning a local competition. She went to New York with Pauline's Model Management. After her one year contract ended, she attended the Joffrey Ballet School, where she trained as a ballet dancer. A knee injury ended her career at 19.

After which, Theron flew to Los Angeles on a one-way ticket. Soon after, she went to a bank to cash a cheque her mother had sent her, the teller refused to cash it. After getting into a shouting match with her, a talent agent in line behind her handed her his business card and introduced her to some casting agents and got her into acting school.

After several months, she was cast in a non-speaking role in the film, Children of the Corn III (1995). Her first speaking role was in the film, 2 Days in the Valley. Larger roles films followed, The Devil's Advocate (1997), Mighty Joe Young (1998), and The Cider House Rules (1999). She was on the cover of the January 1999 issue of Vanity Fair as the "White Hot Venus".

Theron, later starred as the serial killer in the film, Monster (2003). Film critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema". For this role, Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 76th Academy Awards in February 2004,as well as the SAG Award and the Golden Globe Award.She is the first South African to win an Oscar for Best Actress.

On 30 September 2005, Theron received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the same year, she starred in the science fiction thriller, Æon Flux. Theron received Best Actress Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for her performance in the drama, North Country.

In 2005 Theron portrayed Rita, in the television series, Arrested Development. She also received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role in the 2004 HBO film, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

In 2008, she also starred in the film, Hancock and in late 2008 she was asked to be a UN Messenger of Peace by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

In October 2009, Theron was cast to star in a sequel to the Mad Max films, titled Mad Max: Road Fury, which filmed at Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia in late 2010. Theron has been cast in the role of the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman.

She also performed in the films: Love Finds Andy Hardy (1938), Johnny Eager (1941), Ziegfeld Girl (1941) and Somewhere I'll Find You (1942).

Her popularity continued through the 1950s, in such films: The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Peyton Place (1957), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Jessica Lange "Looks like" Barbara Bedford.

Jessica Lange, (born April 20, 1949), best known for her performances in Frances, and Tootsie. Both from 1982, for which she was nominated on Oscars in two categories at the same time. Her other well known roles were in the films, Sweet Dreams (1985), in Blue Sky (1994), A Streetcar Named Desire (1995), Normal (2003), Grey Gardens (2009).

Barbara Bedford (19 July 1900—25 October 1981). She wanted to perform on the silver screen after graduating from High School and set out for Hollywood, where she impressed Lambert Hillyer, with her beauty and charm. Despite the fact that she had no stage or screen experience, he cast her for a role in, The Cradle of Courage (1920). She starred in the 1927 silent film, Mockery with Lon Chaney. The story takes place in Siberia, during the Russian Civil War. Peasant Sergei, is searching for food, when He meets a mysterious young woman traveling to the town of Novokursk. She asks Sergei to tell people along the way that he is her husband. Even though they do not really look like a couple. They find an abandoned house where they rest...



but... a stranger is hiding inside. Sergei soaks the woman's feet and makes a bed for her. The stranger comes out of hiding and is soon joined by his friends, who beat Sergei. The two are rescued by White cavalry. The woman turns out to be, Countess Alexandrova. In Novokursk, the countess stays with the wealthy Gaidaroff family. After Sergei leaves hospital, he goes to see the countess, who finds him a job. When the Whites leave town, to fight off the Reds, the Reds go looking for the countess...

I thought Chaney gave a emotional performance through a wonderfully transforming makeup job. His character is rude, dirty and sometimes evil, but.. by the end of the film you find yourself sympathizing with him. Bedford, is wonderful as the Countess Alexandrova, his love interest.
