Arthur Miller speaks candidly about marriage to Marilyn Monroe | BBC News

Published

on



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”.
