A few days after the premiere of blond, We haven’t stopped reading great reviews and a shower of praise for the new Marilyn, Anne of Arms. The reasons are obvious: great characterization, a true embodiment of the character and an emotional, real, human performance. Although, what is clear, the great staging has been, as if the main character is reliving himself. And it’s not just us saying this, all the written media have failed to capture the startling resemblance between Ana De Armas and the Hollywood star. Of course, not only is there great merit in makeup and acting, but there are certain aspects of Ana de Armas’ facial features that have disappeared and could have been the key to being chosen and giving life to Marilyn Monroe.
The specialist in “Hollywood Smiles”, dr. Eugenia Cervantes. For the sculptor of smiles, there is one important point in the lower third of the actress’s face and that is not necessarily the makeup or Marilyn’s famous birthmark. “There is great credit in Ana de Armas’ makeup, voice register and interpretive level, but little is said about the importance of the mouth, lips and smile in a biographical film characterization, especially when we talk about one of the most attractive and captivating smile in Hollywood history, like Marilyn Monroe’s” comments dr. Eugenia Cervantes.
However, the specialist noticed a specific detail of the smiles of both, especially when the two show their smiles with the lips at rest, an important aspect in terms of dental aesthetics. “We already know that the actress had orthodontics to straighten and veneer her smile to perfect it. But what few have noticed is the resemblance in the smiles of both with the lips at rest, as Marilyn is shown in many of her iconic photos If we look closely, we can see that both have almost the same dental exposure of the upper incisors (central teeth); Both Marilyn and Ana de Armas show approximately between 4 and 5mm, which is ideal when we talk about a striking and beautiful smile. ANDIn dental aesthetics, the parameter of a beautiful female smile is that, with the upper lip at rest, the teeth can be seen between 2 and 5 mm” explains Dr. Eugenia Cervantes.
The specialist goes further and also refers to the lower third of the face as an important area, not only to define our beauty, but also as a characteristic feature that resembles or sets us apart from the rest. “It’s funny, but the lower third is an area that in many cases can resemble other people, such as relatives and even Hollywood stars. Therefore, I have no doubt that, in addition to his vocal and acting talent, the smile has been an important element for Ana de Armas to keep the role” sentence dr. Eugenia Cervantes.
A simple coincidence or a decisive feature? Maybe it’s something we’ll never know, what’s for sure is that De Armas de . is and always will be Marilyn more iconic, real and similar to the Hollywood star. And for all this also the most praised on the small screen.
