Ana de Armas spent Quite some time preparing for The Role
In an interview, the Deep Water actress said that she had to practice a lot for perfecting Monroe’s accent. In order to get the voice and accent right, the actress rehearsed for 9 months. The actress said, “It only took me nine months of dialect coaching and practicing, and some ADR sessions.” The actress continued with “It was a big torture, so exhausting.”
Although she almost managed to nail the American accent in the movie, purists wanted a 100% authentic feeling biopic and are a tad bit disappointed with the trailer.
The Cuban actress said that she knows now how it was for women back in the day, and for things in general as well. She said, “And how if you don’t have a strong base, with your family and so on, it’s really hard to make it through — really hard.”

Fans are not happy with the Trailer
Marilyn Monroe fans claim the film is disrespectful to the iconic actress’s legacy. The fans of the legend actress took it to Twitter to share their discontent about the movie’s trailer and their disappointment.
How many people are going to squeeze themselves into the Marilyn persona? There have been so many! There is but one Marilyn and when you watch the real Her, you know immediately that everyone else is a sorry imitation.

I can still hear her accent. I never understood why they pick Ana but wow she looks like her. I think we should stop making movies about her and allow her to rest
