CANNES (FRANCIA) – In occasione del suo 65mo anniversario, il Festival di Cannes che si svolgerà nella città francese dal 16-27 maggio rende omaggio a Marilyn Monroe.
Dopo Faye Dunaway dunque, la kermesse diretta da Thierry Fremaux omaggia un’altra donna, la diva per antonomasia della Hollywood classica che si trasforma in icona dell’edizione 2012 a 50 anni dalla morte. Marilyn è ancora una delle figure mitiche del cinema mondiale, un simbolo senza tempo.
