Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Blonde" begins in 1933 with a young Marilyn Monroe living with her mother. What name does her mother call her?

Answer: Norma Jeane

Marilyn Monroe was born in 1926 in Los Angeles, California with the name Norma Jeane Mortenson. The film opens in 1933 on her 7th birthday and it depicts her relationship with her mother who both loved her and abused her. Even after she adopted the stage name Marilyn Monroe, those close to her often still called her Norma Jeane as she preferred her birth name to her stage name.
2. What prompts a seven year old Marilyn Monroe to run to her neighbor's house and ask if she can stay with them?

Answer: Her mother tries to drown her.

After Marilyn Monroe's 7th birthday her mother is shown abusing alcohol and then making irrational decisions. At first she drives a car toward a raging fire and then while giving Marilyn a bath she almost drowns her. Marilyn is able to escape and she runs away, terrified, to her neighbor's home.

They end up taking her in but eventually they take her to an orphanage. Marilyn's mother is declared as unfit to take care of her and she ends up in a psychiatric hospital.
3. During the 1940s Marilyn Monroe adopts her famous stage name and she gains a lot of exposure as what?

Answer: Pin-up model

Before becoming an actress Marilyn Monroe was a pin-up model and she appeared on numerous magazine covers, postcards and calendars. Much of her modeling was done with little clothing and her beauty made her quickly become a sex symbol. However, Marilyn desired to move on from being a pin-up model to become an actress
4. One of the first movies Marilyn is shown auditioning for is the 1952 film "Don't Bother to Knock". What character, who mistreats a child, does she end up playing and feeling a personal connection with?

Answer: Nell

Marilyn Monroe lands the part of Nell in the film "Don't Bother to Knock". During her audition she gets incredibly emotional while reading the script as she had been abused as a child and the character Nell was extremely abusive to the child she is watching. Marilyn wants to try to do the audition again but the casting director tells her that isn't necessary as he has seemingly already made up his mind to cast her in the role because he likes how she looks.
5. In 1952 Marilyn Monroe is shown in an open romantic relationship with two men that have famous actors as fathers. Who are these two men who get a lot of tabloid publicity for their polyamorous relationship with Marilyn?

Answer: Charles Chaplin Jr. and Edward G. Robinson Jr.

Marilyn Monroe is shown spending lots of time with Charles 'Cass' Chaplin Jr. and Edward 'Eddy' G. Robinson Jr. They experiment romantically and declare that they are the 'Gemini' as three people. As news gets out about their unique relationship, Marilyn's agent encourages her to not see Cass and Eddy in public. Marilyn, Cass and Eddy don't seem to mind the tabloid publicity acknowledging that it can be beneficial for their careers and exposure.
6. For what 1953 movie, that stars Marilyn Monroe, uses the headline "The two most electrifying sights in the world"?

Answer: Niagara

The film "Blonde" depicts Niagara as being Marilyn's breakout role. Much of the publicity for the film depicts Marilyn standing in front of Niagara Falls with the aforementioned headline acknowledging both Marilyn's beauty and the beauty of Niagara Falls. During a showing of "Niagara", Marilyn is in a theater with Charlie 'Cass' Chaplin Jr. and Edward 'Eddy' G. Robinson Jr. engaging in foreplay.
7. Marilyn Monroe lands a major role for the film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in 1953. What actress was set to make about twenty times as much as Marilyn for the film prompting her to renegotiate?

Answer: Jane Russell

Marilyn's initial contract for "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was to make $500 per week with an estimated 10 weeks of filming. Jane Russell was offered $100,000 for her role in the film, a staggering 20 times what Marilyn was scheduled to make. This inequity prompts Marilyn to refuse to begin filming her parts until her salary is renegotiated. Marilyn jokes that 'Blondes' is in the title implying that she is the selling point and her pay should reflect that. "Blonde" doesn't tell us what Marilyn ends up making for "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" but in an interview years later, Monroe stated that she was indeed paid $500 per week for the film.
8. What retired baseball player does Marilyn Monroe marry but shortly after have an ugly, public divorce from, after he doesn't approve of her behavior and choice of roles?

Answer: Joe Dimaggio

In "Blonde" Joe Dimaggio is shown as adoring Marilyn Monroe and telling her he'll do anything for her but then he quickly gets jealous and physically abusive with her. He implores her to take on more serious roles instead of being a sex symbol. Dimaggio explodes after he sees Marilyn's famous skirt raising scene being filmed for the "Seven Year Itch" and they are divorced shortly after.
9. While married to Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe suffers a devastating miscarriage. What causes her to miscarry?

Answer: A fall at the beach

Marilyn Monroe met the acclaimed author Arthur Miller while she was auditioning for a role for which he was a writer. They had lunch together and she told him how she would modify her character somewhat and he agrees with her recommendations. The two marry and get pregnant but Marilyn eventually miscarries after she suffers a fall at the beach. Arthur and Marilyn had guests visiting and Marilyn did not want to socialize but Arthur was adamant that she socialize.

While transporting a tray of food on the beach a visibly woozy Marilyn falls over on her stomach and loses her unborn baby.
10. What actress, who was born in Havana, Cuba in 1988, plays the part of Marilyn Monroe in the 2022 film "Blonde"?

Answer: Ana de Armas

Although she was born in Cuba, Ana de Armas moved to Spain at the age of 18 and she appeared in nine Spanish films from 2006 to 2014. She moved to the United States in 2015, the same year that she gained recognition for appearing in the film "Knock Knock". Ana de Armas also appeared in the films "War Dogs" (2016), "Blade Runner 2049" (2017), "Knives Out" (2019) and "No Time to Die" (2021).

The 2022 Netflix film "Blonde" starred Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe and it gained controversy for its depictions of sex and physical abuse and it was rated NC-17.
