When Ana de Armas signed on to play Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming movie, she didn’t expect to have such difficulty perfecting her voice.
The “Knives Out” star, 32, revealed that it took her nine months of coaching to get Monroe’s signature gasping voice.
De Armas told UK publication The Sunday Times: “It only took me nine months of coaching and dialect practice, and a few ADR sessions.”
She added, “It was a big torture, so exhausting. My brain was fried.”

“I had a lot of thoughts as a woman in industry, and even in general, about how things from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s are so relatable today,” de Armas said to himself. “And how if you don’t have a solid foundation, with your family and so forth, it’s really hard to survive – really hard.”
