Ana De Armas who is Cuban Spanish is chosen to play Marilyn Monroe in a movie because she looks exactly like her. Here is the problem though, because she is Latina, She have a thick accent sometimes pops out that she cannot hide. Monroe is a White American born and raised woman not a Latina, People got upset that she got cast because her accent still shows up. She manage to imitate her voice but yeah she sounded like a Cuban faking an American accent. She was cast because she looks exactly like her even if she is not a natural blond.



her acting though is good and I don't think her fake American accent is bad as people accuse

I would rather choose different actress. She would be good for some remake with parralel worlds where Marlyn is Latina. Here accent takes to much attention.
What about Jasmine Chiswell?

Oh! She does have an accent! I was listening to her in an interview and started wondering if something was wrong with my ears. I'm thinking ??? ... she doesn't quite sound like Marilyn Monroe. She sort of looks like Marilyn though. I have seen other movies about MM and the person they picked didn't really look like her. Anyway! Frankly, I'm not interested in watching any more movies about Marilyn Monroe. I have more fun collecting vintage photographs and saving them on my Tumblr blog.

I just notice my favorite Scarlet Johannons looks great as Marily Monore. Even Jasmine Chiswell already act as Marilyn, Scarlet would show here how job is done.

I mean, her accent kinda bothers me a bit. But it might be difficult for her to just remove her accent in an instant, so I'll just try to understand the situation.

Let Ana carry on the playing the character of Marilyn. I think she is a good fit despite of the accent.

There are people who take speech lessons to learn to speak without an accent.

Didn't you watch the movie "Outsourced" (2006)?

I'm not trying to be fussy but I think the actress could have made an effort to eliminate her accent. Just sayin'.

I actually learned how to speak with an American accent when I worked in a call center. Sometimes though my accents pops out occasionally.
