Dakota Johnson Channels Marilyn Monroe in Venice-Bound Short, Flesh Impact
Dakota Johnson, 36, is set to play Marilyn Monroe in Flesh Impact, a Venice Film Festival short that imagines Monroe living past age 36. First-look photos show Johnson with a blonde bob, a departure from her brunette look, while Ellen Burstyn portrays a mature Monroe. The project, written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, honors Monroe’s 100th birthday and features two Monroes—Johnson as the younger version and Burstyn as the older one.
