There’s a vast divide between surface resemblance and uncanny reproduction. The 'Blonde' hair and makeup and costume teams pulled out all the stops to put Marilyn Monroe back on the screen.
It should be easy to summon the look of Marilyn Monroe with little more than a blond wig, black eyeliner and a choice of replica costumes, but as countless celebrities such as Madonna , Michelle Williams and Mira Sorvino have learned, there’s a vast divide between surface resemblance and uncanny reproduction.
“The makeup and hair trailer was covered with images of Marilyn,” said Tina Roesler Kerwin, makeup department head. “As we re-created them, we would put Ana’s picture next to them. There is a TV in the trailer and Marilyn Monroe movies were always playing.” “Once we had the wigs made and found our Norma Jeane and our Marilyn, we could relax a little and not have to dig [into research] all the time, and we could focus on what we knew we were going to see,” she added.“It took us a minute to find our Marilyn in Ana. I’m working on her in real time, on a real person, so there were tiny little adjustments that would relay some message that would work or not work.

Re-creating the famous white halter dress from “The Seven Year Itch” required a now-rare pleating technique and reverse engineering a complex pattern.
