Editorial Review:
Poppy Montgomery Patricia Richardson Ann-Margret and Patrick Dempsey head a stellar cast as this acclaimed mini-series based on the best-selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates comes to DVD. Dramatic unsettling and suggestive this provocative miniseries delivers all of the passion mystery tragedy and triumph that defined the all-too-brief life of an immortal legend.She was Hollywood's most exquisitely packaged and ruthlessly sold sex symbol. Every man wanted her and every woman wanted to be her. But did anyone really know her? "Blonde" goes behind the scenes drawing a sharp-eyed picture of the movie business from the 1940's through the 50's to reveal how a shy lonely girl named Norma Jean Baker was transformed into legendary platinum bombshell "Marilyn Monroe".Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 783722736326 Manufacturer No: ARD27363

Rating:  - Could not watch the DVD
I could not watch the DVD because my machine was not prepared to read an American DVD.
Rating:  - Blonde
This was a truly amazing movie about Marilyn Monroe. I had seen the movie on Lifetime Movie Network and loved it. I looked everywhere for the movie and was thrilled when I found it on Amazon. Poppy Montgomery does an outstanding portrayal of Marilyn Monroe. The movie was a bit long but well worth it. I don't know how anyone could watch this movie and not fall in love with Marilyn Monroe. Outstanding!
Rating:  - An inaccurate but entertaining biopic
A lot of the 'facts' that this mini-series tries to put across are inaccurate, and on a totally unrelated matter, the lead actress looks nothing like her character. As charming as Poppy Montgomery (from TV's "Without A Trace") is, she does not remotely resemble Marilyn Monroe. Also, the storytelling in this biopic seems frightfully rushed; and it seems at times that the film-makers were frantically trying to condense Miss Oates' book. However, the cast is very talented, and make a good job of it. ... Read More
Rating:  - Decent...
It seems that most die-hard Marilyn Monroe fans dislike this movie because it doesn't tell her true story, and it bends some facts and dates to fit the story. While that's true, you have to remember that this is based on Joyce Carol Oates novel, "Blonde", which is a fictional account of Marilyn Monroe's life. The novel and the movie are both intended as works of fiction and shouldn't be read as a biography of her life and work. If that's what you're looking for, then pick up a biography (you have ...

Rating: - very good acting...but...
all in all a terrific movie, but i don't feel everything was truthful. one scene has joe dimaggio slapping marilyn across the face, and i'm not buying he ever did that. and also, i think this movie overexagerates on her sex life...i don't think she slept around with as many guys as this movie says...but very compelling and in some scenes poppy montgomery actually does look just like her. but overall the best 'marilyn' movie i've seen and i'm a huge fan of hers, but i felt the movie did a small ...
