Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino both star as Marilyn in this HBO picture. Ashley stars as the young Marilyn "Norma Jean" the controlling part of the woman and Mira stars as Marilyn the star. The two fight viciously for control over her personality, ultimately dooming the woman. A depressing dark view of the sex symbol but it is possibly one of the most accurate - at least dealing with Marilyn - who did have a history of mental illness as well as family history, was manic depressive and deeply troubled. A well acted daring film. Give it a try. 9 of 10
