The glamour of the 1950s came to White Waltham on Friday as Hollywood actors descended on the airfield.

Dawson’s Creek actress Michelle Williams will play Marilyn Monroe in the film My Week with Marilyn, now in production at Pinewood Studios.

On Friday, White Waltham airfield near Maidenhead was transformed into a 1950s airport, to film Marilyn’s arrival to the UK.

Extras were dressed as 1950s air stewards and stewardesses.

Jim Munro, who is a member of the West London Aero Club at White Waltham, said the airfield had been taken over on Thursday and Friday.

“There was a huge encampment of marquees and luxury caravans. When I arrived there were a load of extras in 1950s outfits,” he said.

“Marilyn walked past me at close range.”
