		<description><![CDATA[Jessica Chastain once commented about her unusual appearance and seeking roles: &#8220;When I first moved to LA, it was very difficult. All the casting directors didn&#8217;t know what to do with me, with the way I looked. &#8220;I&#8217;m not blonde with tanned skin and tall and skinny.

		<description><![CDATA[Her portrayal of the icon is earning praise from many reviewers. Claudia Puig writes in USA TODAY that &#8220;While My Week With Marilyn is more an awestruck reverie than a revelatory biopic, it&#8217;s worth seeing for Williams&#8217; bravura performance.&#8221; Roger Ebert thinks &#8220;The movie seems to be a fairly accurate re-creation of the making of [...]]]></description>
