Re: Scoop: Susan Sarandon to Play Marilyn Monroe's Mom in Lifetime Miniseries

We're not showing lots of love for Li-Lo here, are we? LOL!

Take a look at these photo galleries:

Which Actress Makes The Hottest Marilyn Monroe?

There are many I'd never thought of or even heard of, for that matter. Casting Directors certainly have a plethora of choices. Or perhaps they'll find a virtual unknown walking through a shopping mall or working the supermarket checkout or scooping ice-cream at Coldstone Creamery.

Bravo, Keri, for what you said. (I am morally opposed to quotes, so I guess I can't use it.)

I bet they will go for an unknown, someone to play MM from maybe her late teens to age 36 when she died.

keri thanks for the heads up. What about the actress form Smash Megan Hilty ( can't remember her last name) , I would you to know that I appreciate your posts and the reason this is my favorite forum is that we all have respect for each other.

Thanks keri for the posting Thank Java for the 'cool down memo'. We are all TV lovers or rather lovers of TV (whatever works best), Ha!

Anyway, I think she's beautiful. I can see her moving into less vixen roles. Although she certainly could pull off those roles too! I didn't used to like her because she was so outspoken liberal. Some is good, too much not so good.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know keri. You always are so kind to let us know and keep up up to date.

To be absolutely honest, LoveShelties, I, too, thought about Broadway veteran Megan Hilty, but when it comes to another TV series, I surmised it's a case of "once burned, twice shy."

In 2013, Hilty appeared on an Independence Day special; unsure whether it was PBS or one of the others.

I wondered what else she's done since Smash crashed and burned, thanks to NBC's total indifference, disrespectful schedule changing and paucity of promotion. Surprise!

I could see M. Hilty as MM. I also wondered about Agnes Bruckner, who played Anna Nicole Smith & the girlfriend of the Craig's List Killer in the Lifetime movies.

Ooh, I really like Agnes Bruckner. She would be a good choice.

I agree with love. We all do respect each other's posts. We don't have to agree all of the time, but we at least respect each other's posts.
