Michelle Williams is my favorite
Michelle Williams was one of the very best ones ever
Kelli Garner.
Ana de Armas
Michelle Williams for sure..Ana has an accent, is smaller, not as curvy as MM. Both did well though.
Norma Jean played Marilyn Monroe best 😢
That she did.
Best comment!
I love this!
YEEES!
I just want Hollywood to let this woman to Rest In Peace. 😢
Me too
And she shall....being who she was and still has a lingering spirit with me. No one was ready for Norma Jean. No one.....
She's icon
Michelle Williams’ performance was spectacular.
Only Marilyn Monroe will ever be Marilyn Monroe !
Well said
I still love The Secret Life Of Marilyn Monroe based on the her tapes. The short movie series was the closest thing to a biopic that we're ever going to get
My Week with Marilyn was just another example of how crazily phenomenal, nuanced, powerful and incredible an actress Michelle Williams is. She can do it all. Watch anything she's in.
Ana De Arma's Marilyn journey was pretty intense. Kudos to her!
Thank you for not leaving out the AMAZING performances from Smash 🥺
And yes, Ivy was definitely the best.
Hollywood is milking her death the same thing with Princess Diana. 😳
The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe was my favorite. It wasn't over the top and UNLIKE BLONDE it was classy.
I concur with you there.
‘Blonde’ had stellar camera work and De Armas was phenomenal, but the film was not.
Kelly Garner NAILED it!

Hi katherinea which out of all of these Marilyn biopics would you recommend I never seen any of then came close to the recent one with ana de Armas?
While Ana's performance was decent, Michelle's is probably my favourite to date, since she offered a nuanced look at the Troubled Blonde Bombshell.
I haven't seen Blonde and don't think I'd want to, but I agree with you about Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn. I feel like it's a better movie. The thing that I find ironic is Michelle plays an actress with personal demons while her ex-boyfriend Heath Ledger also dealt with personal demons and died three years before from said demons. I highly recommend you watch Selling Marilyn: A Life Merchandised to get a better understanding of the continuous exploitation of Marilyn Monroe.
@@kamsismith it’s a hard sad movie to watch but Ana de Armas absolutely nailed the role! She became Marilyn
@@karlac798 I'm sure she does, but I don't feel comfortable watching an NC-17 movie with graphic sex scenes.
Michele was Amazing I agree.
@@karlac798 no... no no no. the movie is adapted by a fictional novel, a fictional depiction of marilyn's life. she didn't "become" marilyn. they changed her life events AND her personality, they fictionalized, romanticized and fantasized a real person who actually lived for commercial profit. this movie is a male fantasy. you obviously know very little about her and i'm very disappointed that you're defending this movie as a woman.
Blonde is just a horrible exploration of Marilyn’s image where she is being traumatized for 3 hours straight
Yeah the movie was just filled with marilyn being abused 🤢🤮
It was so disappointing!!
It’s a strong sad movie but Ana de Armas completely nailed it
I couldn't finish it she is just abuse for almost the whole movie
@@karlac798 I agree!! She was amazing and actually it's bringing out the treatment and trauma of Marilyn Monroe! I think she would be proud that people are acknowledging what she had to endure! She was very much abused, no need to deny the truth!! I enjoyed it because it helped to understand her!! Not the abuse, I didn't enjoy that but I can relate to her a lot because I too was abused! I guess it's why I think she is so much more fascinating than most celebrities!!
Can you do top Marilyn Monroe career moments?
Kelli Garner's Marilyn is so underrated
I second this!!!!
Agreed. Even though the story is mostly fictionalized I think Kelli captured Marilyn personality and her “vibe” the best, if that makes sense. I hate the wide eye innocent look 🙄 by all accounts Marilyn had a very dark sense of humor, and yes she was very kind and generous but could cut you if you crossed her.
She actually looked and acted the most Marilyn of any actress I've seen to date. I haven't seen 'Blonde' yet.
Couldn’t concur with you more!
‘Blonde’ has PHENOMENAL camera work and De Armas was STELLAR, but the film was not.
I thought Kelly Garner NAILED it!

For all, I’ve heart and seen. Marilyn was mistreated and abused, Indeed. But she still was a fighter, she never held back. She fought till the end, she wasn’t a pushover. She did whatever she wished. In these movies, she’s portrayed like a helpless victim.
I liked Ana’s performance. You can tell she really worked hard.
William de foe's monroe still pulls a smile out of my face everytime I see it 🤣😂
Same HAHAHAHA
I honestly think that if Marilyn saw all the movies that have been made about her she’d just flip off everyone
Hi kvgm would you recommend any one of these biopics I never seen one about her honestly never seen any of her movies I know crazy but I do know who she is though just was curious on your thoughts on which biopics to see?🤷♂️🤔
My personal favorite is My week with Marilyn.
I don't like how she was treated all of her life!
Ana de Armas rocks Marilyn !!!! This woman was the nearest Marilyn
Facts
The thing I find interesting is I have never seen a portrayal of Marilyn in which one of her most iconic features is done right. She has a distinct angle in the arch of her eyebrows that it seems no make up team in hollywood has noticed or bothered to recreate, which if they had, would have made these actresses look far more like her. None of them have her trademark eyebrow arch, and in each of thier looks something is missing, and IMO this is it. I don't think this would be hard for a professional makeup artist to achieve, and none of them have. Its a shame because without that arch, none of the actresses truly captures her look. As a result, each actress is left in an uncanny valley where they almost have her look, but not quite. It's unsettling, and makes it much harder for the viewer to sustain belief throughout these portrayals. Which is a shame because these actresses have done a fine job otherwise. It's a subtle thing, but very telling. The viewer keeps getting the feeling that something is not quite right about how her face looks.
Watch the one starring Kelli Garner.
Kelli's eyebrows are exactly what I am talking about. Not even close to Marilyn's arch.
Kelli Garner in "The secret life of Marilyn Monroe" remains the best portrayal in my opinion. It is respectful with the right balance of joy and tragedy... And Kelli looks the closest to MM.
Yes. Looks, talks and acts the most Marilyn. I almost forgot she wasn't Marilyn when watching her performance, I was THAT caught up in watching her.
To this day Marilyn Monroe is still the world's biggest STAR!
Poppy Montgomery’s portrayal broke my heart💜 ♥️🌹
None of these actresses come within a light-year of matching the real Marilyn in beauty and talent. However, the actress who did a passable job was Catherine Hicks. They all go too deeply into the darker side of her life. They always try not only to make her the worst type of drug addict when her problem was simply insomnia, but they also try and make her all kinds of crazy which she was not. She was a high strung movie star who lived and worked in fantasyland, I mean Hollywood. Few with her huge fame would ever act normally.
The sneakers commercial is hilarious
I just want Hollywood to leave her alone and let her rest in peace Ana is the closest I’ve ever seen in resemblance but there will ever only be one Norma Jeane she was one of one
Yes just a mere opinion her......Ana IS AND ONLY "the one to channel Norma and Marilyn. Im still haunted with Ana's voice, If your not careful, and mentally strong enough?....you could swear that Norma is channeling thru her grave thru Ana! succumbing to this is truly Norma speaking and acting again thru Ana from the burial site! Chilling isnt it??! Ana is the one to truly athenticate Normas' voice. I was taken by sorrow to hear Ana's voice on the original movie soundtrack... it struck that trigger in me that Norma still lives in the ones that truly know her.
The only person who portraits Marilyn Monroe is Norma Jean aka Marilyn ..
The enigma of Norma Jean/Marylin Monroe will always make sure that she will never rest in peace. Can we just please stop making movie after movie about Marylin Monroe.
Marilyn**
@@Tomboyy9818 I have always spelt her First name that way. I never realized I had been spelling it wrong all this time. And I call myself a Marilyn Monroe fan. I think I have a case of the Mendela affect going on because that is the only reason I can think of for spelling her name wrong. Thank you for correcting me.
Marilyn Monroe...the original superstar!!!!!!Love her
Very very great epic list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 💗
Susan Griffiths played the best marilyn monroe
Ana De Armas is hands down the best, it's just too bad that the movie is so horrible.
Think it’s beating a dead horse at this point just enough
I like Michelle’s and Kelly Gardner’s best.
My Week with Marilyn is the best
Monroe isn’t difficult to imitate, but impossible to replicate.
Michelle! Was fantastic
I remember Misty Rowe from Hee-Haw…all of a sudden, I feel OLD 😂😂
There is only one Marilyn Monroe but I will watch the movies. I believe she was murdered.😢😿
I never been so insulted in my entire life they keep getting her wrong and making her look like a bad person which is not true
Michelle Williams I have to say was my favorite.
Her candle burned out LONG before her legend ever did....or will
❤️✨💕🌅💞💜
Michelle Williams played a much more 3 dimensional Marilyn than Ana, but the 1 dimension Ana's portrayed is unparalleled. It's Andrew Dominik's fault for writing her that badly.
I couldn't finish Blonde, it was so disjointed.
All these movies about Marilyn and not one has shown her as the ambitious, successful, calculated and powerful woman that she was in real life.
For some reason people can't comprehend that Marilyn was multifaceted, and had misery in her life as well as happiness.
No one cares that Ana de Armas is not American. She's gorgeous and played it better than anyone I've seen...however... the movie was horrible. Couldn't even finish it... was falling asleep. It was a mess.
Michelle Williams killed it.
Ana de armas was horrible as Monroe and she was just crying the whole time making the iconic actress look boring and shallow for 3 hours straight. No more movies on Monroe or Diana please. leave them alone and stop fetishizing their real life sufferings
Ana de Armas portrayed her best.
Michelle was the best
I feel like the only portrayals where I learned anything worthwhile or new about who Marilyn really was were This Year's Blonde and Smash! Especially Smash. Learned so many details about her from those songs, where I finally felt like I understood her. Also, thought the mini series Blonde was pretty good.
Ana to me was excellent in this
I didn't like the movie much Ana looked exactly like MM
Ana De Armas Sounded Like Madison Beer (Imagine Dragons) in Devil May Cry Live Action.
Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe 🔥
Mira Sorvino as Marilyn Monroe ❤️
Ana Der Armas as Marilyn Monroe 💔
I honestly think that we shall continue to see more Marilyn portrayals because very few honestly depicted her as human and until Hollywood gets it right it won't stop. I honestly love My Week with Marilyn ( even if it's told from a male point of view) and The Secret Life Of Marilyn Monroe also Ana de Armas was amazing if only the material wanted to portray Marilyn as human and not as a fantasy and pro-life propaganda.
Hello Nicole Kidman's Moulin Rouge and Geri Halliwell a.k.a. Ginger Spice's Happy Birthday performance.
Did not Nicole Kidman also have a Marilyn portrayal in Moulin Rouge? Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend/ Material Girl are performed as a device for her character
Nicole’s Breathy vocals are so her!
She was singing the song but not trying to represent the image of Monroe in any way
Blonde was a portrayal of her suffering, what she really experienced in Hollywood. Who she really was. I liked Ana's portrayal she did a good job. If she wasn't so vulnerable she would have had those executives in the palm of her hand.
Blonde was based off of a fanfiction novel of Monroe written by a woman who disliked her. It is in no way accurate to her life.
@@brittanyannette3170 How can a fanfic be written by someone who's not a fan? Blonde was published by HarperCollins and was written by Joyce Carol Oates who, regardless of your personal opinion of her, is a long-established, legitimate author. Stop spreading misinformation.
It was literally based on a novel & everyone involved has been clear that it's fiction.
@@brittanyannette3170 bingo
No, you’re beyond wrong.
Actress KIM STANLEY played a thinly veiled "Marilyn- like" character in The GODDESS about 4 years before Marilyn's passing...
One thing that annoys me about most Marilyn portrayals is they have her constantly speaking in that "breathless" manner when that was NOT her actual speaking. Voice!
We need abc Superstar to talk about Brittany Murphy or can you talk about Brittany Murphy character pls
I’m almost finished with the 2022 one and I feel like I’m watching a thriller. It’s an interesting take on her life,
I prefer the parodies over the actual “biopics” just because the biopics are just as much fictional as the parodies, if that makes sense. 😂 even Michelle Williams version is fictional and relies heavily on “myth” of Marilyn.
Michelle Williams
Hey Ms Mojo it's LIZA not Eliza Minelli
Poppy Montgomery in Blonde is the best portrail!!!
Hasn't Penelope Ann Miller played Marilyn? I have that memory but can't find anything about it
Blonde was a horrible movie but Ana’s performance was spot on. She looks the most like Marilyn and has her facial expressions down to a T.
It’s not that she’s Cuban it’s that’s it’s not true.
There’s only one Norma Jean 😢
Ana de armas. That’s it
Anna Nicole thought she was Marilyn Monroe💯
What was the context of the scene where she says "I made more money than Superman and Chewbacca"? She died in '62, Star Wars (and Chewbacca) didn't release until '77 so how does that make sense?
I think blonde was outstanding
They did they best to try to make them look like her but no one looks like Marilyn
Blonde didn't do nothing but what its always done
I wish Mojo would speak less and show more of the mentioned actresses (escpecially the voice acting).
Ana de armas the best marilyn monroe
Hello, please if you can see ARGENTINA 1985, the film is highly recommended
Mira sorvino
Nothing in Netflix’s “Blonde” is good, not even the portrayal of Monroe… it was all one note.
Aside from acting tho. Poppy and Ana look physically beautiful and the features like M.M have down. The rest look NOTHING like her.
Damn it hasn’t been a min lol
Blonde is not decisive its a disaster it celebrates her misery and exaggerated every cliche or monroe
I'm gonna make a movie about a bad ass cussing Marilyn kicking everyone outta the way!
Can you telk about Brooke Shields
Seriously people ? 2022 was best out of all please
La mejor actriz que ha interpretado a Marilyn Monroe es ANA DE ARMAS, las demás sólo son cartón pintado.
Ana was good, but her accent just kept yanking me out of the moment.
Thank you!
Top 5 girl characters show want see turn into a giant again
For this list we count down TV show they should make a new video of girl characters turn into a giant again
The new one is bad. So sad 😞
Yeah it is
No
@@shantaram8839 yes it is 😅
Lindsay Lohan ❤️
No-one of these actresses portrayed Marilyn as she deserved...
This last movie "Blonde" is simply disgusting...It's not art ...is GARBAGE!
Ana was scary she was so much physically alike but her impression ... The over the top sad creature seen as pathetic running round naked and confused wasn't good. Poppy Montgomery was fantastic IMO. She was the first do portray Blonde the Book. The secret life was fiction. Her
Mother wasn't constantly in the picture like that. It was just weird.
I enjoyed the Niptuck,Monroe impersonator.
There were two Kennedy's that Ms Mojo refuse to believe Who Marilyn slept with. Bobby was actually Marilyn's first love. Well the tapes and interviews would differ and it shows she was with both men and they used her. This is what led to get suicide. Feud was so good I actually forgot about the Marilyn portrayal. I loved smash and both actresses Katherine McPhee and Meagan Hilty. Meagans voice IS Marilyn. Lets be bad was so good.
Michelle Williams portrayed an interesting, seductive and also smarter than most portrayals. I liked her happier portrayal too. I don't think Michelle Williams looked a thing like Marilyn/Norma but she acted the best next to Poppy Montgomery. They showed Norma as a young woman and her first marriage before she was famous.
Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino
No and no.
For some movies that portrays marilyn are probably exploitative if they show fanfic like quality.. Blonde 2022 was a work of fiction basically ran by rumors that insecure/slvt shakers do.. The two brother and her was never a poly love affair, the media at the time didn't really see a male-female to be Friends that always have to say "there having sex, they are probably dating or they fell in love" most likely those brother saw marilyn as a sister figure or a mother figure to go to vent or get advice (marilyn has shown her daddy issues by marrying or saying that older grown men are attractive to her and the two were the same age range as marilyn plus cass was 20 in 1953) the director r@pe scene never happened irl even the director admit he wasn't sexually attracted to marilyn nor was he fond of her as to force himself onto her. The John Kennedy one I'll say not true because she mostly went after his brother (in which said he was single at the time ) and I don't think the two had a poly relationship, in blonde 2022 they still portrayed marilyn as a dumb blonde in the movie, her mom Gladys being very unhinged never happened but in fact she did go in and out of the metal hospital for other issues, marilyn was raised at a orphanage near were her mom used to worked at. But the sexual assault.. She most likely while moving to different foster homes she's most likely been m0lested but never like the way they did in blonde 2022, also marilyn wasn't as sexually active like she goes to orgeys active or she can go in rounds active... Her husband expressed she was a disappointment in bed most of the time.. (ik she was pregnant before don't use that to invaild my point). If there was someone who decided to make a proper biopic of marilyn monroe/Norma Jean Baker... They should make it into a tv show just they have all her life in there.. Plus should cast a women who looks like her.. Meaning haves the same chin/jaw likness as her and play a character similar to her.. For a young version of marilyn they should cast that one women who played cat women from gothem, and maybe Michelle paiper as a 30 year old ver...
Blonde is based on a novel & was never intended to reflect the real Monroe or her life.
@@mariaaguadoball3407 the people who were making the movie plus aruther were promoting the whole movies as a biopic...
@@alyssamcgee9013 Not from what I've seen. They've been upfront from the start that the novel was their source material, not the real Monroe's life.
Michelle Williams' performance was great but she lacked the charisma and beauty of Marilyn and I just couldn't see her as "the most famous woman in the world"
