This Year's Blonde is a 1980 low-budgeted American television drama film directed by John Erman and starring Constance Forslund as 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, Lloyd Bridges as Johnny Hyde, and Norman Fell. Based on the Garson Kanin novel Moviola[1] about Monroe, the film was presented as part of a 3-night TV special event on NBC called Moviola: A Hollywood Saga.[1]
This Year's Blonde was the first of two TV movies about Monroe in 1980, the second being Marilyn: The Untold Story, starring Catherine Hicks. Both movies have been overshadowed by larger-budget theatrical films about the star.
