Marilyn Monroe er det forrige århundredes absolut største kvindelige ikon og er omgivet af en nærmest mytisk aura. Nu vækkes hun til live i My Week With Marilyn, der er baseret på virkelige hændelser. Michelle Williams har netop vundet en Golden Globe for sit hudløse portræt af Monroe.
I forsommeren 1956 kommer Marilyn Monroe for første gang i sit liv til England. Her skal hun holde bryllupsrejse med sin mand, den anerkendte dramatiker Arthur Miller, og desuden spille med i 'Prinsen og korpigen'; filmen, der fører hende sammen med den legendariske instruktør og medskuespiller, Sir Laurence Olivier. Men der er ikke kun store stjerner på settet. Også den 23-årige Colin Clark, der lige er færdig på universitetet og brændende ønsker at lave film, er med under optagelserne som assistent.
40 år senere genfortæller Clark sine erindringer og udgiver dem i dagbogsform, hvor han fortæller om de krævende optagelser. I beskrivelsen af den seks måneder lange optageperiode mangler der dog en uge. Først år senere afslører Clark i en efterfølgende erindringsbog med titlen 'My Week With Marilyn', at han har tilbragt den uge sammen med verdens største stjerne, efter at hendes mand var taget tilbage til Amerika. Og det er her, den unge Colin får et unikt glimt af stjernen bag blitzlysenes glitrende facade og offentlighedens evigt tyngende forventningspres. Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]

My Week With Marilyn is the true story of a star-struck boy who falls in love with the biggest celebrity in the world, Marilyn Monroe.
23 year-old Colin Clark was determined to break into the film business and his first job was The Prince and The Showgirl - the film that was set to be the smash hit of the year famously uniting the biggest stars of the day, Marilyn Monroe and Sir Laurence Olivier. On honeymoon in Britain with her new husband, Arthur Miller, Marilyn is excited about the project but quickly becomes desperate to run away from her Hollywood entourage, the pressures of work and the press who hound her.
