Participez au sondage lancé par le site linternaute qui propose à ses visiteurs de choisir Quelle actrice pourrait interpréter Marilyn Monroe à l'écran ?

Elle est aujourd'hui encore l'actrice la plus emblématique du 7e art. Si vous deviez faire un film sur elle, quelle actrice engageriez-vous ?

Observons les réponses, proposées par les internautes, parfois d'étonnantes propositions sont données:
C'est Scarlett Johansson qui est la plus citée, suivie de Charlize Théron;
Michelle Pfeiffer et Madonna ne sont pas de mauvaises idées, mais je pense personnellement qu'elles ont passées l'âge pour se mettre dans la peau de Marilyn, qui, ne l'oublions pas, est morte à l'âge de 36 ans;
Quand aux autres noms soumis, on se demande ce qui se passe par la tête des sondés: Eva Mendes, Ophélie Winter, Dita Von Teese, Juliette Binoche et Anne Hataway ... ?!

Mon vote, j'ai proposé Scarlett Johansson avec cette justification:
Elle semble être l'actrice actuelle qui pourrait au mieux se mettre dans la peau de Marilyn: de par son physique (sa stature, sa taille, ses formes), et elle est tout de même une actrice avec beaucoup de talent, je pense qu'elle en serait capable !
Charlize Théron est une bonne proposition, mais elle est trop grande ;
Madonna et Michelle Pfeiffer sont de bonnes idées aussi, mais il est à mon avis trop 'tard'', elles sont trop âgées (Marilyn est morte à 36 ans) !

Après un sondage auprès de ses internautes-lecteurs, le site linternaute publie un diaporama des comédiens que vous regrettez le plus. Marilyn Monroe figure deuxième sur une liste de 40 personnalités, avec ce petit texte:

"Elle avait cette grâce qu'aucune autre actrice ne possède, et cette fragilité touchante, presque irréelle et magique" dit une internaute. C'est toute la détresse que Marilyn Monroe cachait derrière une façade pourtant impeccablement étudiée qui élève, encore aujourd'hui et pour toujours, la star au rang de mythe, tout simplement. © MGM

Le piano blanc de Marilyn

Ce piano fut un cadeau de Gladys, la mère de Marilyn, qui le lui avait offert lorsqu'elles vivaient ensemble, quand Marilyn était enfant. Puis la mère et la fille furent séparées, Marilyn alla vivre dans des familles d'acceuil. Lorsqu'elle devint la star que l'on connaît, Marilyn chercha par tous les moyens à retrouver ce piano. Elle le racheta et le garda toute sa vie.

En 1999, le piano fut mis aux enchère à la célèbre vente organisée par la maison Christie's (le Lot 21). Estimé entre 10.000 et 15.000 $, il fut finalement vendu pour la somme de 662,500 $ ! L'acheteuse n'est pas une simple anonyme: il s'agit de la chanteuse Mariah Carey, qui est fan de Marilyn.

D'ailleurs, lors de l'émission télé MTV Cribs, diffusée sur la chaîne MTV aux débuts des années 2000 et qui dévoilait l'intimité des stars à travers leur résidence, on y découvrait le fameux piano blanc dans l'(immense) appartement new-yorkais de Miss Carey, trônant dans son living-room, entièrement décoré de blanc.

En outre, voici un extrait de l'interview de Mariah Carey du magazine Playboy de mars 2007:
Playboy Vous avez acheté le piano d’enfance de Marilyn Monroe pour plus de 600 000 dollars. Qu’est-ce qui faisait que vous le vouliez ?
Carey : J’ai dû me battre pour l’avoir. C’était assez sympa. Je n’avais jamais fait d’enchère pour quoi que ce soit avant. Mon décorateur, qui est  mondialement connu était au téléphone, à me demander à combien je voulais monter, et je n’arrêtais pas de lui dire, « Il me faut ce piano ! » Ce piano est symbolique. Dans l’autobiographie de Marilyn, il y a un chapitre intitulé « How I Rescued a White Piano. » [comment j’ai sauvé un piano blanc] C’était la seule chose qui lui restait de son enfance. Je sais que c’était cher, mais c’était important pour moi. J’ai une volonté : s’il devait m’arriver quelque chose, le piano ira dans un musée, ce qui est l’endroit où je pense qu’il aurait dû aller en premier lieu.
