I'm in the camp that Marilyn was no actress. Model? Sure. Actress? NO! I liked your description of her as a zombie. That's a good way of putting it.
I think the problem with this though wasn't entirely Marilyn's fault, which I can't believe I'm actually saying. lol! I think it's the lack of depth of character. We know a few good things about her but she repeats them as though she were a bad text to speech voice, there was no passion there. She seemed dead already so that term zombie really nails it. In any case, the problem screams direction. On the other hand, history tells us what a nightmare it was to direct her. In the end, it was probably a 50/50 thing between Marilyn and the director.
Granted, the movie kept my interest, but it felt staged.
