Redmayne, who plays Clark, the young production assistant who develops a relationship with
Marilyn, mused on the unique glimpse that the narrative gives of the “real” Marilyn. “Because
there is so much footage, and there is so much written about her, and everyone has an opinion
on her,” said the actor, “I think the important thing is how many different sides to her she had,
and that she was always playing, on many levels, what she thought the world wanted from her.
She was so multifaceted and versatile, and ultimately, I think perhaps that was one of her
tragedies—her lack of a strong sense of self. I think that’s what will be interesting [about the
story]. Not only does Michelle re-create formidably her ebullience and lightness, but you also
see this other side of her.” (source: Vogue)
