Angelina Jolie (recently voted the hottest female star by Kiwis) is set to play Marilyn Monroe in a biopic about the iconic actress' life.
Andrew O'Hagan, who wrote the book The Life and Opinions of Maf The Dog, and Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe, confirmed the Salt actress would play the blonde bombshell in a Hollywood adaptation of his novel while speaking at the Edinburgh Book Festival.
He also confirmed George Clooney (recently voted the 3rd hottest male movie star by Kiwis) would play Monroe's friend Frank Sinatra in the epic.
Christina Hendricks and Scarlett Johansson had previously been lined up to play Monroe.
The book tells the story of the Some Like It Hot actress two years prior to her death in 1962 from the perspective of her dog Maf, given to her as a gift from Sinatra.
Jolie had previously been mentioned as one actress lined up to play Elizabeth Taylor in a story about the British actress' life, but Taylor scotched plans saying only she would be able to play her as she is still alive.
