    Katherine McPhee has all of the Marilyn attributes of pure innocence. No matter how sexy Marilyn Monroe was, Katherine Mcphee has Marilyn written all over her face. Believe me I know, first hand. She is beautiful and what a voice?

    If they’re looking for someone who can play both innocent and sultry/sexy, McPhee’s got that dichotomy down pat. Ivy definitely comes off as the sexpot in the beginning, but as time goes by I think we’ll see more of her wounded, if not exactly innocent, side. Maybe it depends on how people see Marilyn  herself. But no matter what I, a long-time McPhee fan, would do, I think Ivy will get first chance at the role. Then we’ll see what transpires after that. Good dramas live on conflict, after all.
