MARILYN MONROE & ARTHUR MILLER

Arthur Miller was married for a brief while to the movie star Marilyn Monroe. It was a classic matchup in many ways: Miller was Jewish, intellectual and controlling, and New York; Monroe was blonde, instinctive and messed-up, and very L.A.

Monroe's last husband was playwright Arthur Miller. To save their marriage, Arthur created the movie The Misfits as a Valentine for Marilyn. Shooting the movie was rough, and soon after the film wrapped they divorced. Arthur went on to marry Inge Morath, a photographer who was on the set of the movie to document its creation.
