Ana de Armas is Marilyn Monroe.

The actress embodies the iconic late star in a movie for Netflix titled, “BLONDE.” It takes viewers through the life of Monroe, starting from when she was a child.

“‘BLONDE’ blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the widening split between her public and private selves,” a synopsis for the film states.
