Michelle Williams Participates in AFI Fest's 'My Week with Marilyn' [PHOTOS]
Michelle Williams, the Oscar-nominated actress who stars as the blonde bombshell in 'My Week with Marilyn' directed by Simon Curtis, walked the red carpet of AFI Fest in Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Sunday.
"I've never really gone to where Marilyn placed her hands and feet in 1952 and became immortalized. Now, I want to try putting my hands and feet in there," she said as she saw where Monroe placed her prints in concrete.
Many critics are now taking a shine on Williams' performance in the upcoming film 'My Week with Marilyn'. Her acting and singing are now on spotlight as critics are looking into how she portrayed the tragic life of the blonde Hollywood icon.
When asked if she feels anxious about her performance on film, she said, "Oh gosh, of course."
"At this point, there's nothing I can do. There's nothing I can add, there's nothing I can subtract. It's all over. But don't you always want people to like what you do?" She quips.
The director of the movie, Simon Curtis was quick to praise the actress for her hardwork on set.
"She is a brilliantly intuitive actress who just works so hard to understand the complexity of her character in the movie. I hope they'll really value Michelle, as we all did working on the film. She actually was a very smart woman doing her best in a difficult time," he shares.
The producer of the film, David Parfitt, pointed out the difficulty of playing the role of one of the most sensitive characters in Hollywood.
"I suppose there is always this danger in trying to impersonate Monroe," he said.
'My Week with Marilyn' is a film based on the two books that were written by Colin Clark. Clark reflected on his experience in taking care of Monroe during her visit to England as she filmed the movie 'The Prince and the Showgirl'.
Clark, who studied in Eton and Oxford, has shared in his writings how he has built excellent rapport with the actress and also wrote about his pleasant and shocking experiences with the bombshell that the world ought to know to gain more understanding of the often misunderstood actress.
