Arthur Miller: The Beginning

Her age: 29-35

Duration: 1955-1961

Perhaps one of her more famous relationships, Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller’s relationship, began in 1951 when they met on the set of As Young As You Feel. However, the pair did not reconnect until 1955. Monroe was captivated by Miller’s intellect and profound writing, while Miller admired Monroe’s beauty and vulnerability.

Their connection deepened through letters and private meetings, leading to a passionate romance contrasting Monroe’s previous high-profile relationships. Despite their seemingly different worlds, they found common ground in their artistic pursuits and personal struggles, which led to their marriage on June 29, 1956, in a quiet ceremony, which was later followed by a Jewish ceremony.
