Norma Jean | Year: 1996 Classification: Drama Directed: - Tim Fywell Actors/Actresses: - Ashley Judd - Mira Sorvino Excellent film! This movie is a great portrayal of Marilyn Monroe's life. When I watched it on HBO in '96, it made me more interested in her life. I wound up starting a collection of Marilyn's movies. She was bipolar (which has been declared a fact recently), and this movie is interesting as well as fact-based (although no movie is completely factual). I LOVE IT! Mira Sorvino and Ashley Judd absolutely shine! They are awesome actresses! Sorvino doesn't make a convincing Marilyn. This video, which details the latter part of Marilyn Monroe's life, is played out by two actresses, the beautiful Ashley Judd, who portrays Norma Jean Baker, and the not-so-convincing Mira Sorvino, who portrays Norma in her later years as Marilyn Monroe. Judd does a good job of acting out Norma Jean's part, and she kind of even looks like Norma. Sorvino, on the other hand, makes it hard to visualize Marilyn. Her poor acting and too-breathy voice just doesn't convince me. casting error - horrible casting error Mira doesn't look anything like Marylin Monroe and it's very important in a film for an actress to look the part. And although Mira Sorvino can generally act in other movies, her performance in this film wasn't very good. Her voice is irritating. I think Ashley Judd's and Mira Sorvino's role should have been reversed. How did the casting directors make such mistake? Mira sorvino just doesn't look like a sex symbol.
