Marilyn is referenced in Los Angeles Overnight, a new thriller starring Arielle Brachfeld which opens in the US and online tomorrow, as reviewed by Frank Schek in the Hollywood Reporter. (Actress Sally Kirkland, who has a cameo role, previously played an older MM in The Island, while another of the cast, filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich, encountered Marilyn at the Actors Studio.)
“Arielle Brachfeld (whose extensive screen credits include the likes of Chemical Peel and Snake OuttaCompton) plays the central role of Priscilla, an aspiring actress who supports herself waitressing at a low-rent diner in which the servers wear Marilyn Monroe wigs … Brachfeld is appealing as the innocent heroine turned unlikely femme fatale.”
