It’s hard not to go one day without seeing Marilyn Monroe’s image plastered on something. Teenage girls carry around handbags with Monroe pouting seductively on cheap leather, and I wonder whether they have any idea about the actress? Teenagers probably think she’s just “some cool blonde chick”. That is understandable, considering the youth of today we’re probably just cells dividing in the developing testicles of their grandfather or great grandfather at the height of Monroe’s fame. Her life was full of drama and her status is legendary, albeit that her lasting memory seems to live on through handbags. ‘My Week with Marilyn’ is a charming look at a small sequence of Monroe’s life and the subtle impact she had on those around her.
