True Personality
Monroe was undeniably beautiful, but she was actually also a talented actress. While she portrayed the ditzy blonde in many movies, her true personality was apparently very different. Aside from the fact that she loved to read, Monroe also reportedly had hundreds of books. Fellow actress Shelley Winters said that the sex symbol was also attracted to smart men.
Her Third Husband
Monroe’s third husband was Arthur Miller, who was definitely an intellectual. As a matter of fact, the couple was mocked by the media when the two married in 1956. For example, Variety had a wry headline that read “Egghead Weds Hourglass.” Many could not believe that the writer and the blonde bombshell could make a good match. Sadly, these people was more or less right in the end.
