While the world tugged and raved about the enigma of Marilyn Monroe , she still remains a mystery. Behind that exquisitely sensuous face and the perfect pout, was a lonely girl, who just wanted to be loved. Though widely written about till date, little is known about the actual person in Marilyn Monroe.

Now, Christopher Bigsby, the American playwright and essayist is ready to reveal about the married life between Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe. The couple first began to see each other through out the summer and autumn of 1955 . They went on to get married on the evening of 29 June 1956 in a civil ceremony, as reported by Telegraph about the biography.

Inspite of her silverscreenl persona, the most desired woman suffered multiple miscarriages from her marriage to Miller, this made her condition worse since Miller was not around at the time of tragedy. Her mental state was unstable as she was schizophrenic. At times charming and suddenly aggressive, though she wanted to be liked by all, she would do things to hurt those closest to her.

She went through severe depression, the only time Miller felt she was at ease was when they spent the summer of 1957 at their farmhouse at Amagansett, Long Island. Monroe went on to be pregnant again but the couple's happiness shattered, as once again she underwent a miscarriage. This ultimately caused her to depend on drugs and shook their relationship further.

After a couple of suicide attempts from drug overdose and being rescued each time, it grew clear that she was trying to kill herself. Arthur tried to revive their relationship by writing the script of 'The Misfits' for her. Finally Miller left Monroe, after a relationship of exhaustion and confusion. He went on to link up with Inge Morath, the Magnum photographer he met on the set of The Misfits, just a month later.

Nothing seem to help the troubled star. Her various affairs with powerful men, her outrageous on-screen persona, her disastrous childhood or her un-fullfilled desire to be taken seriously as an actress. She was found dead in the morning of 5 August 1962 with her face down on her bed, an empty bottle of Nembutal tablets beside her. Her death is one of the un-solved mysteries haunting the world even today.
