The Hourglass and the Egghead: Marilyn Monroe’s Third Husband
This snapshot from Life Magazine’s archives offers a glimpse into the turbulent romance between Marilyn Monroe and her third husband, Arthur Miller. The pair met on the “As Young As You Feel” set in 1951 and quickly fell for each other. Monroe gushed in her diary about their instant connection, describing it as similar to running into a tree!
Despite their whirlwind romance and marriage in 1956, their relationship was rocky and short-lived. Dubbed “the Hourglass and the Egghead” by the media, their union was as fascinating as it was unlikely. He was the last husband Monroe had before her death.
