Blonde: How Ana De Armas' Marilyn Monroe Compares To Real Life

Blonde is a fictionalized depiction of Marilyn Monroe's life as one of the mid-20th century's biggest celebrities and film stars, whose famous roles include Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. Inspired by a Joyce Carol Oates novel, the movie stars Oscar nominee Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe. Both the film and the book it is based on are steeped in controversy, with Blonde receiving the infamous NC-17 rating for "some sexual content" - a first for not only a Netflix original movie but for any streaming service exclusive film. Netflix's Blonde tells a fictionalized account of Marilyn Monroe's life as she rises to become one of the most famous celebrities ever. It focuses on her Hollywood stardom and addresses some of the legendary conspiracy theories surrounding Marilyn Monroe, such as an alleged affair with The President (Caspar Phillipson), based on John F. Kennedy, and her early death at only 36 years old being an assassination.
