Michelle Williams Pictures at AFI My Week With Marilyn Premiere

Michelle Williams Wears Oscar to Her Latest Marilyn Screening

November 7, 2011

Michelle Williams arrived in LA on Friday and threw on a strapless Oscar de la Renta dress to attend yesterday's AFI Fest premiere of My Week With Marilyn at at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. We snagged a moment with Michelle on the red carpet before the screening began. She spoke about how lucky she felt to play the role of Marilyn Monroe and said people really don't know just how smart the iconic blonde was — stay tuned for video from the event later today on PopSugar Rush! Michelle got into promotional mode during a break from working on Oz: The Great and Powerful in Detroit. That movie is a special one for Michelle, who told us two weeks ago at the Hollywood Film Awards that the updated take on the Wizard of Oz was a project she took on for her 6-year-old daughter Matilda Legder.

well there are only a handful of actresses anywayz, so I guess they went with what they had...she's a good actress, I'm just glad Blohan nor Scar-Ho landed this gig

I like her but not Marilyn. So I won't see it regardless. I did watch Shutter Island last night. She was pretty good...for a crazy lady. lol

I didn't see her as a good choice for Marilyn either. Didn't feel it anymore after seeing the trailer.

I just can't see her as Marilyn (even after seeing the pics)... This dress is odd. Its making her stick her arms out like a doll.

I disagree ladies, I think she was a great choice. Michelle is one of the few real actresses around and a class act. Kudos to her for landing the role.

She's a good actress, really, but... she's so not Marilyn... Not even close. I don't understand that casting decision at all. Especially after seeing the latest trailer.
