Who mimics Marilyn Monroe best?

For the record, I don't think anyone can really do Marilyn with quite the panache as she herself could do. But, since everyone in Hollywood seems to be inspired to copy the icon, it's interesting to watch the various wannabes coming out this year alone.

First candidate: Michelle Williams. The actress admitted that she was overwhelmed by the idea of acting like Marilyn in her new film, My Week With Marilyn, but she took the role on anyway, and even posed for Vogue in a blonde wig with Marilyn-esque garb.

Second candidate: Andrej Pejic. The model, who works on both male and female catwalks and shoots, posed for Lovecat's Fashion + Film issue as the gorgeous actress.

So, while I may not be falling off my chair in awe at how alike these two are to the real deal, I do wonder who - in your opinion - channels Marilyn with greater pizzazz?
