The Marilyn Monroe estate has come to the defense of "Blonde" star Ana de Armas after some criticized the Cuban Spanish actor's voice in the trailer for the Netflix biopic.
In response to complaints about De Armas' accent, representatives for the Monroe estate issued statements this week supporting "Blonde" director Andrew Dominik's decision to cast the "Knives Out" breakout as the silver-screen legend.
"Marilyn Monroe is a singular Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history," said Marc Rosen, president of entertainment at Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which owns the Monroe estate.
