Inspired by the 2000 bestselling novel of the same name written by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde stars the very beautiful Cuban actress Ana de Armas and tells a fictionalized story of Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s life. The actress is remembered for her portrayal of &#8220;blonde bombshell&#8221; characters and is a revered sex symbol globally.
