"A serious, deeply researched look at the marriage of the great
playwright and the quintessential screen star."--St. Petersburg
Times
"Prolific biographer Meyers is particularly well equipped for the
task of gleaning something new from this heavily harvested field. .
. . Meyers recognizes that Miller truly loved Monroe but finally
ended the marriage when he realized she was destroying him. He'd
spent three years working on a film for her (The Misfits), earning
only her scorn, and her needs were too complex and her problems too
intractable. In the final chapter, Meyers thoughtfully mines
Miller's last plays for nuggets about Monroe."--Kirkus
"A fascinating look at an incongruous match."--Booklist
