Based on the famously missing chapter in Colin Clark's memoir "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me," "My Week With Marilyn" reveals the enchanted week that the then-lowly production assistant spent with the most famous celebrity of the era during the production of the classic 1957 comedy romance "The Prince and the Showgirl."

The year was 1956. Colin Clark was an ambitious 23-year-old determined to make a name for himself in film. As summer gets underway, Clark manages to land a position as a production assistant on the film The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Marilyn Monroe (Michell...

Two Jews on Film - By Joan Alperin Schwartz: When the film 'My Week With Marilyn' directed by Simon Curtis, begins we see Marilyn Monroe on a stage singing 'That Ole Black Magic'... That's who I thought it was, anyway.

It actually took me a few seconds before realizing that I was watching not Monroe, but Michelle Williams. That's how good she is in her portrayal of the damaged, insecure, extremely sensual, extremely vulnerable Hollywood icon/sex symbol known as Marilyn Monroe. Or to put it simply, Michelle William's performance blew me away.

And the rest of the film is pretty wonderful a...

Scottish actor Dougray Scott has no idea why he's often cast as a villain - because in real life he's more likely to "run away from a dangerous situation" than become embroiled in the drama.

The star was hand-picked by Tom Cruise to appear as bad guy Sean Ambrose in Mission: Impossible II, but Scott admits he's baffled why he was picked for the role.

He says, "I don't know what that's about because I'm no tough guy. I'm not a fighter. I'm more likely to run away from a dangerous situation that to confront it."

He was also surprised when he met with convicted criminals for a TV role. "...

Hugh Jackman almost missed out on the chance to play Wolverine in the original X-Men movie because he had to audition with a perm.

The Aussie star reveals he tried out for the action man role nine months before filming started - and was initially passed over for Brit Dougray Scott. And he thinks his hair put the casting director off.

He explains, "I was doing a musical in London at the time, playing Curly in 'Oklahoma' - so I had a perm in my hair. So I put the hat on to do the audition and about halfway through, the casting director was like, 'That was great, could you do one wi...

Historically, some married in the month of June to honor Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Others did it to time conception so births wouldn't interfere with harvest work. Brides in the 15th century chose to marry in June because it coincided with their "annual bath" - you read right - thus ensuring a relatively sweet-smelling honeymoon.

Centuries later, June has remained the most popular month to wed. In MGM's 1954 Academy Award-winning musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers the song "June Bride" trills: "Oh, they say when you marry in June, you're a bride all your life."

Desperate Housewives star Dougray Scott has ruled out ever undergoing cosmetic surgery to preserve his handsome looks, branding actors who go under the knife "sad". The 42-year-old is adamant he will grow old gracefully, and won't succumb to the popular Hollywood trend.

He says, "It's crazy. It's sad for actors. I can understand why women do it. For guys though, it's never been a problem. I'm a bit oblivious to it with guys. Someone pointed out an actor I know who's had some work done. I couldn't believe they'd had Botox. I'm not saying who though."
