I’m completely mesmerized by these photos of actress Michelle Williams morphing into Marilyn Monroe for her roll in My Week With Marilyn. They were captured on set by photographer Brigitte Lacombe and featured on Nowness. I thought she was absolutely brilliant in the role…did you?

I’m with you Katie. I too was completely mesmerized and thought Michelle was absolutely brilliant.
Yes! She was amazing! I was very impressed…I very much felt like I was watching Marilyn and forgot it was Michelle Williams!
So pretty! Those brows!
That movie was incredible. Michelle Williams is kind of a genius, and I might be forced to watch Dawson’s creek to catch a glimpse of her there. :)
She is FLAWLESS. Stunning images!
She looks incredible!! STUNNING. Really love that last photo – totally channeling Marilyn.
Yes! Oddly, I just revisited that movie last week. An incredibly dynamic performance from Michelle. It felt like she was really here for a moment, didn’t it?
gosh, these photos are just enrapturing. I was so fascinated by that little embroidered hanky. The “mole” part is the easy part … but what were the others? I did some googling and I guess this is the story (according to The Hollywood Reporter):
“Still, there were days the details eluded them. So with a Sharpie pen, Williams wrote on the makeup mirror: “mole, teeth, tattoo” to remind them of Monroe’s famous beauty mark; to put the dental appliance over Williams’ crooked lower teeth; and to conceal the actress’ small tattoo of a heart on her wrist. “At the end of the shoot, I embroidered a little cloth for Jenny,” says Williams. “It said, ‘Mole, teeth, tattoo.’ ”
as a forgetful person, I just love that.
