Arthur Miller was a cold-hearted intellectual who never loved Marilyn Monroe.
He never even bothered to show up at her Los Angeles funeral.
——-“To me it was meaningless to stand for photographs at her graveside.”——-
Miller did not want to be part of the media frenzy that developed around her funeral.
He was disgusted by the attention that came with a movie star on Marilyn Monroe’s scale.
Over the years, there have been suggestions that Miller married Marilyn for her money or for the good publicity to counteract his refusal to name
Communists to The House Un-American Activities Committee.
On the other hand, Joe DiMaggio was inconsolable at her funeral, weeping uncontrollably, leaning over Marilyn’s casket, kissing her on the lips,
and whispering,———-“I love you, I love you”.
The grief stricken baseball star ordered 6 long stemmed roses, three times a week to placed on her grave….forever.
To Marilyn Monroe fans, it is a long, heart-breaking subplot, a tale of two very different ex-husbands.
