'i'm norma only er transformed' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'i'm norma only er transformed' is the wordplay.
'transformed' is an anagram indicator.
'im'+'norma'+'only'+'er'='imnormaonlyer'
'imnormaonlyer' anagrammed gives 'MARILYN MONROE'.
