A few weeks after the premiere of the famous and long-awaited film Blonde,<\/em> Ana de Armas, its leading lady, earned recognition and a 14-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for her harrowing portrayal of one of pop culture’s most iconic characters.<\/p>\n

The biographical film was directed by director Andrew Dominik, is inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe and based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. In addition, its filming began on August 4, precisely on the death anniversary of the Hollywood icon. Let us remember that Marilyn died at the age of 36 in 1962 due to an overdose in her apartment, where the shooting was filmed.<\/p>\n
