Andrew Dominik’s Netflix film Blonde, a fictional version of Marilyn Monroe’s life based on the Joyce Carol Oates book, caused a lot of controversy recently––but it wasn’t the first screen adaptation of Blonde! In 2001, CBS released a made-for-TV miniseries of Blonde starring Poppy Montgomery as Marilyn, and co-starring Ann Margret, Kirstie Alley, Patrick Dempsey, Patricia Richardson and Griffin Dunne. It was written and directed by women, and had a very different take on Marilyn than the 2022 version. It’s the Blonde on Blonde as Louis and Katie discuss the two films and decide which one needs its roots done!                         Support our show and buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tvmoviepodc Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZl9ysOSINvxi4uVEqXSC2Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mothermurdererpodcaster/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mothermurdererpodcaster
