Michelle Williams, caracteritzada com a Marilyn Monroe en la pel·lícula Mi semana con Marilyn (My Week with Marilyn, 2011), protagonitzada per la mateixa M. Williams i Kenneth Branagh.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Prospero, act IV, scene I, vv. 148-158.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), The Tempest (c. 1610-1612).
La festa s’ha acabat, i aquests actors,
com us deia, tots eren esperits.
S’ha fos en l’aire que no es palpa.
I, semblants a la fàbrica d’aquesta
visió, que no té cap fonament,
l’altiva torre que corona el núvol,
el magnífic palau i el temple esplèndid,
i fins la immensa esfera d’aquest món,
i tots els que l’heretin i governin,
es dissoldran; i, igual que s’ha esvaït
aquesta fantasia sense cos,
no deixaran ni fum, ni crit, ni rastre.
Som de l’estofa de què són els somnis.
I un somni és el que volta nostra vida
petita!
William Shakespeare, La tempestat, traducció Josep M. de Sagarra.
