Marilyn Monroe and the FBI’s Gaze
Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe and acclaimed playwright Arthur Miller once formed one of the entertainment industry’s most captivating couples. A genuine connection marked their union, transcending the image of Monroe as a mere blonde bombshell. Their marriage spanned five years, from 1956 to 1961, a year before Monroe tragically took her own life.
What adds a layer of intrigue to this story is Miller’s involvement with the House Un-American Activities Committee, a notorious group associated with investigations into disloyalty to the U.S. government and alleged subversive activities among private citizens. During their marriage, it is said that the FBI maintained a file on Marilyn Monroe and her husband, raising questions about the extent of surveillance and scrutiny faced by the iconic actress.
