Betrayed By Her Biggest Love
Following the disintegration of her marriage to Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe found herself in the challenging position of having to work alongside him on the set of The Misfits. Unfortunately for Marilyn, Miller had already embarked on a new romantic relationship during the filming, and he carelessly displayed his newfound affection for another woman around the set.
The pain and heartache Marilyn experienced during this period were so overwhelming that she turned to her diary for solace, penning her innermost thoughts: “Starting tomorrow, I will take care of myself, for that’s all I really have, and as I see it now, have ever had. […] I still feel hopeless. I think I hate it here because there is no love here anymore.” These poignant words reflected Marilyn’s profound sense of betrayal and emotional turmoil as she grappled with the end of her relationship with Miller and the challenges it presented in her personal and professional life.
