Carol’s Take:
The same year Marilyn Monroe was born, 19-year-old Laurence Oliver made his professional stage debut in England.

In 1956, the chronically troubled Monroe (Michelle Williams) traveled to London to star with Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) in “The Prince and the Showgirl.” Two problems emerged at the start.
