Once again, Michelle Williams is featured on the front of a magazine, this time Elle UK. And while she looks as fresh as fresh can be in her Prada lip dress, she's obviously an old soul as indicated by what she talked about on the inside pages of this publication.
In fact, Michelle Williams talked about her upcoming flick, My Week with Marilyn, and in doing so she talked about a ghostly perseption from Marilyn Monroe, the person for whom she plays. Talk about an old soul! Here's what the award-winning actress said about this situation in the December issue of Elle UK:
"While we were filming, something came out in the National Enquirer that a psychic had spoken to her and that she approved of what we were doing and she thought I was doing a really good job. So maybe she likes it!"
So, that may have been the spooky part, but the rest of the work Michelle Williams put in was, well, hard work. She said she listened to numerous tapes to get MM's voice down, and she watches numerous videos of the blonde bombshell. Still, this M found it "daunting" to live up to her expectations of how to play this iconic personality.
Michelle Williams also noted the many similaries she has to the late Marilyn Monroe, one being that she was 30 at the time of shooting. And at that time, MM was shooting The Prince and the Showgirl, which is what My Week with Marilyn is all about. Not only that, but both actresses did their films in the same UK studio: Pinewood. And, to top even that, Michelle shared the same dressed room and shot at the same site, a house called Parkside. In an even more shocking twist of fate (or good planning), Williams reportedly stayed at Parkside while the filming was going on.
As to whether or not Michelle Williams would really want to meet the ever fascinating Marilyn Monroe, she told Elle UK that she would, but only the "private" person--the Marilyn who is "unguarded." She doesn't need to know what she can see on screen. What Michelle Williams wants to know is what is going on "underneath" that iconic smile.
And so, as Michelle Williams is an Elle UK cover girl, this other fascinating blonde can be explored in depth. Just pick up a copy at any international newsstand.
