Description
One of the world's premiere Marilyn and Madonna look and sound alikes,Approved by the Marilyn Estate and winner of several awards including the Hollywood Entertainment Museum Contest and the Lookalike Industry's "Reel Award".
Holly's been a smash hit at over 2,000 events. With over 50 television and film appearances as Marilyn and Madonna, you might have already seen Holly and not even known it. Currently she is in a documentary/contest for the World's Best Look Alikes, published in a book on Marilyn Impersonators, and in the last year has been on NBC's "Community" and "It's Worth What?", Weird Al's Grammy-nominated "Perform This Way", and profiled on French TV. She's a fan favorite.
She was on worldwide news her first week in LA had the front and back cover in the LA Daily News.
Classicly trained as a triple threat and University degreed, she won several collegiate acting awards, one performing "Bus Stop"!
Her diversified experience as a Celebrity Look-Alike, actress, singer and voice-over talent has blossomed into a busy international career taking her from movie sets, TV stages and live theater to high profile corporate and private celebrity events.
To quote the Wall Street Journal: "Doing a spot-on imitation…Madonna look-alike Holly Beavon strutted and danced down the aisle…Those in attendance love the theatrics, whooping and cheering on Ms. Beavon."
HER STYLE:
With a warm engaging style and unstoppable sense of fun, she performs a high-energy mix of audience interaction and sizzling stage choreography. She pumps up the energy at Corporate "Meet and Greets", trade shows, openings, and parties of all kinds. She has a unique improvisational style that is both entertaining and makes people feel their with the celebrity.
Marilyn friend and biographer John Gilmore said: "What I found lacking (in other Marilyns) was a sort of internal energy--something radiating from the individual apart from the surface glamor. Holly Beavon possessed this energy. It was as though once again, after all the years, I was experiencing Marilyn."
HER COSTUMES:
Each costume is a replica of a famous look down to the jewelry. Her wigs are styled to match each of the corresponding outfits, for a look that makes jaws drop when she enters the room!
LIVE PERFORMANCES:
Musical Performances range from Happy Birthday Mr. President to an hour show. Holly has made a life-long study of Marilyn and Madonna singing styles, so her work is "live" and never lip-synced, although people frequently question. She's happy to accommodate special requests, custom programs and customized lyrics.
She performs with either live band or CD tracks and has dancers available.
Holly works as a Look-Alike for Marilyn, Madonna, Felicity Shagwell, Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, and Olivia Newton John.

Review from John Gilmore: I am an author who had been an actor until the early 1960's. Marilyn Monroe was a friend, our sporadic acquaintanceship spanned the years from 1953 (when I first met Marilyn) until 1960 when we were to have starred in a film together, THE STRIPPER, at 20th Century Fox studios. I have authored a book of memoirs about Marilyn, INSIDE MARILYN MONROE, published in 2007, based on my relationship with her. I have been a keynote speaker at a number of Memorials for Marilyn, and met Holly Beavon at a fan-based get-together celebrating Marilyn's birthday. Over the years I have encountered a number of Marilyn impersonators, and has never overly impressed. I found there was something usually missing in the individuals (apart from the blonde wigs and 'Marilyn-like' dresses). What I found lacking was a sort of internal energy--something radiating from the individual apart from the surface glamor. Holly Beavon possessed this energy. It was as though once again, after all the years, I was experiencing Marilyn. It is a feeling that far transcends the surface energy and mannerisms presented by others attempting to portray Marilyn. Holly and I posed for a photograph present at the party, and he asked that we kiss. It was a strange moment--for those few seconds, it was as though at least 47 years dissolved.
Review from Birthday Client:
Holly Bevon as Madonna was AMAZING!! She looked and sounded just like MADONNA! WOW! Her Madonna look bought tears to my eyes. Extrodinary, sweet and brought the house down at my 40th birthday party. She was loved by all that night! She made my party a success! Thank you Holly Bevon or better known as MADONNA

Feedback
- Holly was a huge hit at our rehearsal dinner. She was prompt, fun, energetic, and plain adorable! -- Whitney C, Solvang, CA, 11/11/2011
- Holly was superb!! She worked with us on the timing. Handled a last minute request beautifully (thanks for the Lip stick decorations). Gorgeous woman and amazing singing voice. Quick witted while interacting with the birthday boy and was Marilyn Monroe from the moment she got there until she left. Everyone had so much fun. I wish I could have her at all my parties :) Will certainly recommend her. Thank you "Marilyn".

- HOLLY WAS MARILYN THAT NIGHT! EVERYBODY ABSOLUTELY ROARED WITH LAUGHTER AT HER ANTICS, AND HER SINGING VOICE IS TRUE MARILYN. ALL OF THE GUESTS, INCLUDING MY HUSBAND, WHOSE BIRTHDAY WE CELEBRATED, LOVED HER PERFORMANCE. SHE MADE THE WHOLE EVENING A GREAT SUCCESS.
WE SHALL CERTAINLY KEEP HOLLY IN MIND FOR FUTURE OCCASIONS.
THANK YOU HOLLY! -- Max B, Glendale, CA, 10/12/2010
- She showed up on time, had the Madonna look, had her songs on a CD, and was ready to go when she got there. She posed for pictures and was very professional. Both Madonna and the guest of honor are from Detroit so I had info about his friends that she used in the routine. She did a good job and everybody enjoyed it. -- Allan H, Glendale, CA, 7/25/2008
- Talented,sweet, and kind. Thank you, Holly! You made the party a success! -- Maria P, Westlake Village, CA, 10/13/2007
- I would give a 10 rather than a five for Holly's performance. Holly is not only captivating as Marilyn Monroe, but one of the sweetest persons I've met in awhile. Professional, accommodating and fun. Fabulous job. -- Jacqueline S, Santa Rosa Valley, CA, 9/24/2011
- We had Holly Beavon perform as Marilyn Monroe in San Diego for my fathers 85th Birthday Party. She was a perfect Marilyn and we all thoroughly enjoyed her performance and would recommend her highly!!!
