But per Anthony Summers' 1985 book Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, the actress drove out toward Palm Springs with gossip columnist Sidney Skolsky in 1950, telling him they were going to visit her dad. They parked near a farmhouse. It's unclear just how Monroe discovered Gifford's existence. But Blonde is trauma on parade, the horrors of her life cranked up to 11 as the film plumbs the ways the consistently underrated actress was exploited, violated and abused while simultaneously becoming one of the most enduring stars in Hollywood history. It's unlikely anyone is sitting down these days to watch or read about Monroe expecting a feel-good story. She's grappling with, and we're grappling with, the image of her life." "It's about the image as much as the person. "It's a dream film about Marilyn Monroe," writer-director Andrew Dominik explained in a Netflix interview. Rather, the NC-17-rated movie is based on the best-selling 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carole Oates, who described the work as "a radically distilled 'life' in the form of fiction."
Though it draws from true, well-chronicled events, many of them caught on camera, Blonde is not a biopic. Not that you should believe Blonde, featuring an Oscar-nominated performance by Ana de Armas as the indisputably tragic bombshell.
If you believe Blonde, Marilyn Monroe never had a moment's happiness in her all-too-short life.
