Arthur Miller speaks candidly about marriage to Marilyn Monroe | BBC News
On this day in 1961 the famous couple divorced – more than two decades later, in a revealing BBC interview, Arthur Miller looked back at his “unlikely” marriage to Marilyn Monroe.
“There was an unlikely quality to it, sure, from a cultural point of view, if you want to call it that,” says the playwright of his marriage to the Hollywood star.
He was talking with BBC’s Alan Yentob in 1987 about the public perception that their union was an improbable match – him the acclaimed, cerebral playwright, her the sex-symbol movie star.
But “the very inappropriateness of our being together was, to me, the sign that it was appropriate,” he says.
In 1961, after less than five years of marriage, they were granted a divorce on grounds of “incompatibility”.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked the country’s commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi.
His dismissal comes just days after the removal of popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov – a move that triggered street protests across the country.
Initial rumours that the end of Fedorov’s tenure was related to a conflict between him and Syrskyi were soon confirmed.

The US has imposed new tariffs on 60 trading partners in the latest escalation in the trade war reignited by President Donald Trump when he returned to office last year.
Those targeted, including the UK, China and the European Union, will face a tariff of 10% to 12.5% on all goods, accounting for almost all American imports.
The tariffs, which replace an identical levy which expires on Friday, are based on claims key economic partners have failed to properly tackle forced labour.
But US trade expert Caroline Freund said the move is “not about forced labour” but that Trump is simply “looking for a legal reason to put the tariffs in”.

Ukrainian drones have hit warehouses of Russia’s biggest online retailer again, killing one person and injuring another 14, local officials said.
They said logistics hubs run by Wildberries in two south-west cities in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions were struck overnight, triggering the evacuation of employees.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the hubs were “involved in providing the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment and other gear”.
Ukraine hit the retailer’s warehouses in central Russia four days ago, killing eight people, according to Russian officials.
The latest strikes come after President Zelensky dismissed Ukraine’s army commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi.
