The
1956 wedding of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller surprised the world.
The Genius and the Goddess presents an intimate portrait of the prelude
to and ultimate tragedy of their short marriage. Distinguished
biographer Jeffrey Meyers skillfully explores why they married, what
sustained them for five years, and what ultimately destroyed their
marriage and her life. The greatest American playwright of the twentieth
century and the most popular American actress both complemented and
wounded one another. Marilyn craved attention and success but became
dependent on drugs, alcohol, and sexual adventures. Miller experienced
creative agony with her. Their marriage coincided with the creative
peak of her career, yet private and public conflict caused both of them
great anguish. Meyers has crafted a richly nuanced dual biography based
on his quarter-century friendship with Miller, interviews with major
players of stage and screen during the postwar Hollywood era, and
extensive archival research. He describes their secret courtship. He
also reveals new information about the effect of the HUAC anti-Communist
witch-hunts on Miller and his friendship with Elia Kazan. The
fascinating cast of characters includes Marilyn's co-stars Sir Laurence
Olivier, Yves Montand, Montgomery Clift, and Clark Gable; her leading
directors John Huston, Billy Wilder, and George Cukor; and her literary
friends Dame Edith Sitwell, Isak Dinesen, Saul Bellow, and Vladimir
Nabokov. Meyers offers the most in-depth account of the making and
meaning of The Misfits. Written by Miller for Monroe, this now-classic
film was a personal disaster. But Marilyn remained Miller's tragic muse
and her character, exalted and tormented, lived on for the next forty
years in his work.
