Mira Sorvino, Ashley Judd, Lindsay Crouse

The disturbing and tragic tale of the inner struggle of the woman known to the world as Marilyn Monroe. While the public persona was animated and vivacious, the inner child, Norma Jeane, was afraid of...( read more  read more... ) the success and desperate to end it. To emphasize the dual nature of Monroe's personality, director Tim Fywell cast two different actresses--Ashley Judd as needy ingenue Norma Jeane, Mira Sorvino as glam bombshell Marilyn--resulting in an unsettling and surreal psychological portrait of the doomed starlet.

    An embarrassing made for TV movie that depicts Marilyn Monroe as some sort of shrill schizo type. Mira Sorvino and Ashley Judd are equally terrible here.

    The story was interesting and the acting was brilliant. Especially the decision to have two actresses play the role. I really need to see this again...

    Oh, why Mira Sorvino? that's almost as bad as Jennifer Love What's-her-face as Audrey Hepburn.

    Quite good movie about Marilyn... Of course with some biographical mistakes but still very interesting and "must see".
    I've loved Mirs as Marilyn but definetly didn't love Ashlee as Norma Jean.

    this role for Ashley Judd ....in a word....evil! I love it! haha Mira's role makes me pity Marilyn Monroe if this was at all true.
