The estate of Marilyn Monroe has come to the defense of Ana de Armas after criticism of her accent in her portrayal of Monroe in a forthcoming biopic.
Brad Pitt, whose production company Plan B is producing the movie, also praised De Armas amid criticism of her accent in the film.
In an interview with the Times last year, De Armas spoke about the struggle to perfect Monroe’s accent, saying it took nine months of dialect coaching.
De Armas was born in Cuba and acted in Spain before moving to Hollywood.
