Ana de Armas left a letter on Marilyn Monroe’s grave asking for “permission” before shooting the film.

In a recent interview with AnOther magazine, Ana de Armas said he asked Marilyn Monroe for permission before shooting the Andrew Dominik. The actress traveled to Westwood Village Memorial Park the day she started filming Blonde: «We had this big note and all the crew members wrote her a message. Then we went to the cemetery and put it on his grave. We were asking for permission in a way. Everyone felt a huge responsibility and we were very aware of the side of the story we were going to tell: the story of Norma Jeane, the person behind this character, Marilyn Monroe. Who was he really? ‘

Based on Joyce’s bestseller Carol Oates, Blonde boldly reinvents the life of Marilyn Monroe, exploring the difference between her public and private image. In addition, Ana de Armas said: «The more Marilyn became famous, the more Norma Jeane became invisible: Norma was this person that no one had ever met. And Marilyn was someone she even talked about in the third person. Somehow Marilyn saved her, gave her a life, but at the same time she became her prison. ‘
