It’s been reported that Angelina Jolie will be playing Marilyn Monroe in a new film about the actress/model’s life, but Angelina said in a recent interview that not only has she heard nothing about the project, but that she’s not sure if she’d be the right fit for the role. Not only do I agree that there’s just got to be someone out there better suited to play Marilyn, but I’m impressed that Angelina didn’t just do the standard, “I haven’t heard anything about it, but I love the idea,” thing that actors always do in interviews. She like, actually admitted that she probably isn’t the right actress to do the part justice.
While Marilyn and Angelina have their bombsell-status and history of drug use in common, there’s too many things that feel off about this potential casting to me… Yet I’m not sure that there’s anyone else who could pull it off right now, either. It’s gotta be hard casting the part of one of the most beautiful and iconic women in history, ya know?
So let’s play casting couch in the comments. Are there any actresses out there that you think could pull off this part (I swear to G-d, if anyone says Katherine Heigl, I will eat a gun), or are you thinking they’re going to have to find some bombass newcomer like I am?

OMG, New Breaking Dawn Posters!
You’ve pinpointed the EXACT reason I cannot bear KStew in these films. Agreed, the character is paper thin (as best), but at least there was some semblance of charm in the way she is written in the books. There is no charm in her acting, no...

Some newcomer, but if not, maybe Jessica Biel?
NOOO. Her already huge head would fucking explode.
charlize theron definitely seems like the best choice.
Gretchen Mol definitely. Charlize Theron maybe, although I really can’t see her in that role. ScarJo is the obvious choice.
Gretchen Mol definitely. Charlize, maybe, but I honestly can’t see her in that role. ScarJo is the obvious choice.
Durr, sorry for double posting. I thought the first one was deleted.
i agree—scarlett johannsenn (though i’m not sure her voice would cut it. she would need to practice monroe’s breathlessness to really nail it)
Christina Aguilera can act right?
Elizabeth Banks!
at first i thought you meant elizabeth berkley, from Showgirls. That would be hot!
haha that’s what I thought too!
I really hope that Angelina doesn’t get it…however if it means she actually gains a few lbs to actually resemble Monroe, I’m all in. I’d love to see what she looks likes at a healthy weight.
Can Gwen Stefani act?
no angelina is so not marilyn! a newcomer! it’s like when jlo was selena haha you nees someone new so you can actually believe it’s the icon they are playing otherwise it’s like oh yeah it’s angelina with a cute wig…
Anyone can look like the done-up Marilyn. It takes a special someone to pull off the makeup-less, vulnerable Norma Jean. I’d love to see a complete unknown.
Charlize Theron would be a great choice, although I don’t think she’d take it. I think Marilyn is sort of played out and a little pathetic. She was incredibly smart and complex yet chose to hide that from the world in order to be thought of as some dumb, breathy, blonde bimbo. Let Lindsay Lohan have the role; they’re pretty much on the same path anyways.
I like the Charlize idea but my vote is for Christina Hendricks!!
evan rachel wood!
Katherine Heigl definitely. :)
What about Dita Von Teese? Dye her hair blond. Good to go I think.
I know Dita Von Teese isn’t an actress but Scarlett Johansson is to acting what chocolate fireguards are to health and safety.
definitely an unknown newcomer.
hmmm angeline ball (the woman who played vada’s mom in My Girl 2) if she was younger:

or a newcomer. none of that scarjo or lilo crap please.
Actually can we talk about how RIPSHIT Lilo will be when someone else plays Marilyn Monroe in a biopic? She’ll probably shoot sparks out of her ears.
Definitely a newcomer! A lot of the girls being suggested here are either too old, or they don’t have the vulnerability needed to play Marilyn. Someone like Jessica Biel is FAR too manly. I think Scarlett Johanssen is the best choice otherwise (assuming she changed her voice up).
scarlett johannsen!
CHRISTINA HENDRICKS!!!
i think LiLo (lindsay lohan) can pull it off.. she seemed to follow marilyn’s footstep.. only that she can seem to get near the president.. for now?hehe
i mean “CANT get near the president”.. sorry..
