Le vendredi 29 juin 1956, après avoir donné une conférence de presse en compagnie de Marilyn Monroe dans l'après-midi devant son domicile à Roxbury où le couple annonce officiellement leur intention de se marier, et d'avoir vécu l'accident de voiture qui a coûté la vie à la journaliste Mara Sherbatoff, ce qui a choqué considérablement Marilyn, Arthur Miller décide de se marier immédiatement et secrètement, sans en avertir la presse, afin de reprendre le contrôle de sa vie, étant donné les événements tragiques qui se sont déroulés dans la journée. Mais Marilyn doute et demande l'avis de Milton Greene: "Arthur veut que je l'épouse maintenant. Est-ce que je fais une erreur ? Qu'en penses-tu ?" et Greene de répondre: "Fais ce qui te semble le mieux."
Miller donne de nombreux coups de téléphones à des hommes de lois et autorités locales, avant de trouver un juge qui accepte de les marier: Seymour Robinowitz, qui doit décaler à plus tard la réception donnée pour son anniversaire le soir-même.
On Friday, June, 29, 1956, after giving a press conference with Marilyn Monroe in the afternoon at his Roxbury's home where the couple officially announced their intention to marry, and to have lived the car accident who killed the journalist Mara Sherbatoff, which greatly shocked Marilyn, Arthur Miller decides to marry immediately and secretly without informing the media, to regain control of his life, after the tragic events occured in that day. But Marilyn doubt and asks to Milton Greene his advice: "Arthur wants to marry me now. Do  I make a mistake ? What do you think ?" and Greene to answer "Do what it seems the best for you".
Miller phone a lot to Men of laws and local authorities before to find a judge who agrees to marry them: this is Seymour Robinowitz, who has to hold over the reception given for his birthday that evening.

Marilyn Monroe et Arthur Miller se marient civilement à la mairie de White Plains, dans le comté de Westchester, Etat de New York où le juge Seymour Robinowitz leur promet de garder le secret, ne le disant même pas à sa propre femme. L'anneau que Miller a commandé chez Cartier n'est pas encore prêt (il le passera au doigt de Marilyn à la cérémonie juive le 1er juillet), il emprunte alors l'alliance de sa mère Augusta.
Marilyn s'était changée pour porter un pull à manches courtes et un fin gilet. Arthur porte une veste bleue sur un pull en col V et une chemise blanche.

C'est un mariage très rapide et intimiste car peu d'invités furent conviés: Sam Slavitt, un avocat ami de Miller, a organisé la cérémonie; et parmi les convives, invités par Marilyn, figurent Milton Greene, Lee et Paula Strasberg, John Moore (son ami décorateur et couturier); et du côté de Miller, son cousin Morton Miller (témoin d’Arthur) et sa femme Florence.
Sur les papiers à remplir (cf document ci-contre), dans "nom du père", Marilyn a écrit "Edward Mortenson".
Le juge Robinowitz prononce le couple "mari et femme" à 19h21. Une bouteille de champagne a été apportée et le couple porte un toast devant les étagères emplies de livres dans le bureau du juge. Marilyn semble plutôt pâle.
Miller dit "Je suis content, c'est enfin fini. Maintenant le monde peut retourner à faire ce qu'il a à faire."
Un proche de Marilyn qui travaillait au département publicité, dira plus tard, ironiquement: "Il ne réalise pas que c'est seulement le début."
Après cette brève cérémonie civile, il est 21h30 quand Marilyn et Arthur retournent à la maison de Miller à Roxbury, Connecticut, où les attendent les parents d'Arthur -Isadore et Augusta Miller- pour le dîner (du poulet) et qui ne savent même pas que le couple s'est marié.

Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller married civilly at the Court House in White Plains, at Westchester County, New York, where Judge Seymour Robinowitz promises them to keep the secret, don't even telling to his own wife. The ring that Miller commissioned from Cartier's is not yet ready (it will be on the Marilyn's finger at the Jewish ceremony on July 1st), then, he borrowns the ring of his mother Augusta.
Marilyn was changed to wear a sweater with short sleeves and a thin vest. Arthur wears a blue jacket over a V-neck sweater and a white shirt.
This is a very fast and intimate wedding because few guests were invited: Sam Slavitt, a lawyer friend of Miller, organized the ceremony, and among the guests invited by Marilyn are Milton Greene, Lee and Paula Strasberg , John Moore (friend fashion designer) and on the side of Miller, his cousin Morton Miller (Arthur's witness) and his wife Florence.
On the official documents, in " father's name" Marilyn writes "Edward Mortenson."
The judge Robinowitz pronounces the couple "husband and wife" at 7:21 pm. A bottle of champagne was bring and the couple toasts in front of to shelves filled with books in the judge's chamber. Marilyn looks rather wan.
Miller says "I 'm glad it's over. Now the world can go back to what he was doing."
One of Marilyn's publicist later says ironically: "He does not realize that this is only the beginning."
After this brief civil ceremony, it is 9:30 p.m. when Marilyn and Arthur return to the Miller's House in Roxbury, Connecticut, where waiting the Arthur's parents -Isadore and Augusta Miller- for dinner (a simple chicken) and who even don't know that the couple are married.

Durant la semaine précédente (du 24 au 29 juin 1956) passée à Roxbury dans la propriété de Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe a demandé à Augusta Miller, la mère d'Arthur, de lui apprendre des recettes de plats typiquement juifs.
Par ailleurs, Marilyn insiste pour que les Miller téléphonent à un rabbin de la branche réformée du judaïsme, Robert Goldburg, qui accepte de lui donner une brève instruction religieuse et de célébrer la cérémonie nuptiale.
During the previous week (24 to 29 June 1956) into Roxbury, at the home of Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe asked to Augusta Miller, Arthur's mother, to teach her recipes from typical Jewish meals.
Furthermore, Marilyn insists for that Miller phone to a rabbi of the reformed branch of Judaism, Robert Goldburg, who agrees to give her a brief religious instruction and to celebrate the wedding ceremony.

Le dimanche 1er juillet 1956, soit deux jours après la cérémonie civile du mariage, est célébré le mariage juif de Marilyn Monroe et Arthur Miller. C'est Marilyn qui avait insisté pour obtenir cette cérémonie religieuse. La cérémonie du mariage est gardée secrète jusqu'au dernier moment.
On Sunday 1st of July 1956, two days after the civil marriage ceremony, is celebrated the Jewish Wedding Ceremony of Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. This is Marilyn who has insisted to obtain that religious ceremony. The wedding ceremony is kept secret until the last moment.

Plus tôt dans la journée, Marilyn Monroe se convertie au judaïsme -pour ce mariage- dans la ville de Lewisboro, dans l'Etat de New York: elle promet au rabbin Robert Goldburg, que tous ses enfants seraient élevés dans la foi judaïque et prête serment: "Je déclare, en la présence de Dieu et des témoins assemblés ici, rechercher le compagnonnage d'Israël".
Parmi les témoins se trouvent Arthur Miller, Kermit Miller le frère d'Arthur, et Milton H. Greene. Le rabbin lui remet un certificat de conversion (cf document ci-contre).
Earlier that day, Marilyn Monroe is converted to Judaism -for this marriage- in the town of Lewisboro in the State of New York: she promises to Rabbi Robert Goldburg, that all her children would be raised in the Jewish faith and oath "I declare, in the presence of God and witnesses assembled here, to seek companionship of Israel."
Among the witnesses are Arthur Miller, Kermit Miller the Arthur's brother, and Milton H. Greene. The rabbi gives her a certificate of conversion (see document).

Arthur Miller et Marilyn Monroe vont signer le Ketubah, un accord prénuptial traditionnellement juif, définissant les droits et les responsabilités de l'époux envers la mariée. Ce document (cf ci-contre), richement coloré, est imprimé sur deux oblongues de feuilles et on peut y lire: "Je suis à mon bien-aimé, et mon bien-aimé est à moi. Aucun homme sans femme, aucune femme sans homme, et ni sans Dieu". Ce certificat témoigne que Arthur Miller et Marilyn Monroe ont été unis dans le mariage dans la ville de Lewisboro, à  Westchester, le 1er Juillet 1956, 22 Tamouz 5716, conformément au rite d'Israël et en conformité avec les lois de l'État de New York. Signé par le Rabbin Robert E. Goldburg et par les témoins: le frère d'Arthur, Kermit Miller, ainsi que du professeur d'art dramatique de Marilyn, Lee Strasberg.
Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe’s ketubah, traditionally a special Jewish prenuptial agreement, outlining the rights and responsibilities of the groom in relation to the bride. This beautiful, richly colored document (see above) is printed on two oblong 8 ½ in. x 11 in. leaves and reads, “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. No man without woman; no woman without man; and neither without God". This Testimonial witnesses that Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe were united in marriage in the city of Lewisboro, Westchester on July 1, 1956, 22nd of Tammuz 5716, In accordance with the rite of Israel and in compliance with the laws of the State of New York. Signed by Rabbi Robert E. Goldburg and witnessed by Arthur’s brother, Kermit Miller, as well as Marilyn’s acting coach, Lee Strasberg.

L'après-midi, les invités (amis et famille) attendent sur la terrasse en dalles de la propriété de l'agent littéraire de Miller, Kay Brown, une ancienne ferme, située à Waccabuc, près de Katonah, dans le Comté de Westchester, dans l'Etat de New York, pendant que les futurs mariés arrivent de Roxbury, où se trouve la propriété de Miller. Les invités sont au nombre de 25 (ou 30 selon les sources) et ne sont composés que d'amis très proches et de la famille de Miller: les enfants (Jane et Robert) et parents (Isadore et Augusta Miller) d'Arthur, son frère Kermit Miller, sa soeur Joan Copeland, son cousin Morty Miller et leurs conjoints respectifs, les Strasberg (Lee et Paula), les Greene (Milton et Amy, ainsi que Cecilia, la mère de Milton et Kitty Owen, la cuisinière des Greene), les Rosten (Norman et Hedda), mais aussi Jay Kanter (l'agent de Marilyn), le scénariste George Axelrod et le couturier John Moore. Il fait très chaud ce jour là, les hommes retirent leurs vestes et les femmes portent des petites robes d'été. De longues tables recouvertes de nappes blanches et des chaises pliantes sont installées dans le jardin, près de la baie vitrée de la maison. Comme à son habitude, Marilyn est en retard.
In the afternoon, the guests (friends and family) waiting on the flagstone terrace of the white home of literary agent of Miller, Kay Brown, a former farmhouse, located in Waccabuc, near Katonah, in Westchester County in the State of New York, while the bride and groom come from Roxbury, where there is the Miller's home. Guests are 25 (or 30 depending on the sources) and are composed of only close friends and Miller's family: children (Jane and Robert) and parents (Isadore and Augusta Miller) of Arthur, his brother Kermit Miller, his sister Joan Copeland, his cousin Morty Miller and their respective spouses, the Strasbergs (Lee and Paula) , the Greenes (Milton and Amy, and Cecilia, Milton's mother, and Kitty owen, cooker of the Greene), the Rostens (Norman and Hedda) and also Jay Kanter (Marilyn's publicist), the scriptwriter George Axelrod and the fashion designer John Moore. It is a heat day, so men remove their jackets and women wear little summer dresses. Long tables covered with white tablecloths and folding chairs are set in a large bay window. As usual, Marilyn is late.

 Puis Marilyn et Arthur arrivent: elle est vêtue d'un simple blue jean et se précipite dans une chambre à l'étage où la dame d'honneur, Hedda Rosten, l'aide à se changer avec la robe de mariée beige en mousseline de soie, signée des créateurs John Moore et Norman Norell, avec des fronces sur les manches et le corsage et une ceinture de satin sous le buste. Amy Greene a prêté son voile qu'elle a fait tremper dans du café une semaine auparavant, afin de renforcer l'aspect de douceur d'ombres beige du voile en auréole. (cf illustration de Michelle Shin ci-contre). Le costume qu'Arthur porte a été acheté par Milton et fourni par Jack Walker, un ami proche de Greene, qui a couru au magasin de mercerie pour hommes Mannie Walker. Miller le porte avec une cravate et a mis une fleur à sa boutonnière. Les autres dames d'honneur sont Judy Kantor et Amy Greene, qui a aidé Marilyn à se coiffer et se maquiller.

Then Marilyn and Arthur arrive: she is wearing a simple blue jeans and rushes into a room upstairs where matron of honor, Hedda Rosten, help her to change with the wedding chiffon beige dress, by the designers John Moore and Norman Norell, with ruching on the sleeves and bodice and a satin sash under the bust. Amy Greene has loaned her veil that she had soaked veil in coffee a week before, to enhance the appearance of smooth beige shadows of halo veil (see illustration below against Michelle Shin). The suit Arthur wears is actually purchased by Milton and provides by Jack Walker, dear friend of the Greene’s, who runs the Mannie Walker men’s haberdashery store. Miller wears a tie and put a flower in his buttonhole.
The other matrons of honor are Judy Kantor and Amy Greene, who helped Marilyn to make hair and makeup.

Cependant, Marilyn semble perturbée depuis deux jours (en fait, depuis le mariage civil du vendredi): elle est nerveuse, anxieuse et se renferme sur elle-même, comme l'ont constaté Milton et Amy Greene. Milton avait d'ailleurs téléphoné à Irving Stein, l'avocat de Marilyn pour lui demander de "se tenir prêt en cas de difficulté de dernière minute". Pendant que Marilyn se prépare dans la chambre, Milton en profite pour discuter avec elle: "Je ne t'ai pas vu sourire de toute la journée. Tu es bien sûre de ce que tu fais ? (...) Tu veux vraiment de ce mariage ? Tu n'y es pas obligée, tu sais. Si tu veux tout arrêter, ce n'est pas compliqué", lui dit Milton. Des larmes commencent à couler sur le visage de Marilyn et Amy la réconforte en lui précisant: "On peut te mettre dans une voiture pour sortir doucement par la porte de derrière. Nous, on se débrouillera avec les invités. Le mariage civil pourrait certainement être annulé avant que le rituel religieux ne vint apporter sa solennité à l'union". Et Marilyn de répondre calmement: "Non, je crois que je ne veux pas me marier".
Milton sort de la chambre et s'apprête à renvoyer tout le monde, mais Marilyn le rappele: "Non, Milton ! On a invité tous ces gens, on ne peut pas faire ça, on ne peut pas les décevoir !"
D'après Amy, Marilyn avait vu un mauvais présage dans la mort accidentelle de la journaliste Maria Scherbatoff (le 29 juin, lors de la conférence de presse donnée avec Miller à Roxbury): "Mais elle savait aussi, présage ou pas, qu'elle commettait une terrible erreur en acceptant ce mariage". D'ailleurs, un autre ami de Marilyn confie: "Elle n'était pas sûre de l'aimer, mais elle n'était pas sûre non plus de ne pas l'aimer. Au cœur de sa confusion, cependant, était son sentiment qu'elle était dépassée avec cet homme. Son insécurité allait crescendo à cette époque. Elle ne pouvait pas s'empêcher de se demander ce que cet intellectuel voulait d'elle, et cela la rendait folle. Cherchait-il juste une femme trophée, comme Joe ? C'est ce qui se passait vraiment ici."

However, Marilyn seems disturbed for two days (in fact, since the civil marriage on Friday ): she is nervous, anxious and contains about herself, as noted by Milton and Amy Greene. Milton has also phoned to Irving Stein, Marilyn's lawyer, asking him to "be ready in case of trouble of last minute." While Marilyn prepares herself in the bedroom, Milton tooks the opportunity to discuss with her: "I have not seen you smile all the day. You're very sure of what you do ? ( ... ) Do you really want to this marriage ? You are not required on it, you know. If you want to stop everything, it's not complicated, " says Milton. Tears begin to flow on the face of Marilyn and Amy comforts her by saying "We can put you in a car to go out softly by the door behind the house. We will attend the guests. Civil marriage certainly could be canceled before the religious ritual come to bring solemnity to the union." And Marilyn answers calmly, "No, I think I don't want to marry." Milton leaves the room and is about to oust everyone but Marilyn recalls him: "No, Milton ! We have invited all these people, we can't do that, we can't let down them !"
According to Amy, Marilyn saw a bad omen in the car accidental of journalist Maria Scherbatoff whi diead (on June 29, just before the press conference with Miller in Roxbury): "But she also knew, omen or not, that she was making a terrible mistake by accepting this marriage." Moreover, another friend of Marilyn says: "She wasn't sure that she loved him, but she wasn't sure she didn't. At the core of her confusion, though, was her sense that she was in over her head with this man. Her insecurity were running wild by this time. She couldn't help but Wonder what this intellectual wanted with her, and it was driving her crazy. Was he just looking for a trophy wife, as Joe had ? What was really going on here".

Pendant ce temps, le Rabbin Robert Goldberg et les invités patientent dans le living-room. Milton Greene accompagne Marilyn à la sortie de la chambre pour la mener au bras de Lee Strasberg, qui joue ainsi le rôle du père de substitution de la mariée en la menant à l'autel. La cérémonie, qui a lieu devant la cheminée de marbre du living-room, ne dure qu'à peine 10 minutes et se célèbre selon le rituel juif. Les époux boivent le vin rouge: Marilyn soulève son voile pour déposer ses lèvres sur la coupe. Elle prononce un "je le veux" d'une voix douce et tremblante. Ils s'échangent les alliances: au cours des deux jours précédents, Miller avait acheté un anneau d'or chez Cartier qui portait l'inscription: "A. à M., juin 1956. Maintenant Pour Toujours." Puis, Miller casse son verre en l'écrasant de ses pieds, en souvenir de la destruction de Jérusalem, et la foule s'écrie: "Mazel Tov!"
Meanwhile, Rabbi Robert Goldberg and guests wait in the living room. Milton Greene accompanies Marilyn from the bedroom and lead her to the arm of Lee Strasberg, who plays the role of a surrogate father to the bride, leading her to the altar. The ceremony, which takes place in front of the marble fireplace in the living-room, lasts just 10 minutes and is celebrated according to the Jewish ritual. The couple drink red wine: Marilyn raised her veil to submit her lips on the cup. She delivers an "I do " in a soft, tremulous voice. They shall exchange alliances: in the previous two days, Miller has bought a gold ring from Cartier's which bore the inscription: "A. to M., June 1956, Now For Ever." Then Miller crushes his glass under his feet, in remembrance of the destruction of Jerusalem, and the crowd cried "Mazel Tov!"

Ensuite, le repas du mariage prend des airs bucoliques, avec l'organisation d'un lunch en plein air dans le jardin.
Au menu: homard, dinde et champagne, ainsi que la pièce montée (les Miller s'étaient adressés à huit pâtissiers avant d'en trouver un qui accepte de la confectionner en quelques heures). Marilyn et Arthur coupent ensemble les tranches, et s'embrassent sans retenue. Arthur Miller, habituellement stoïque, se montre très attentionnée et enchanté de sa nouvelle épouse; et Marilyn semble très heureuse. Depuis plusieurs mois, les proches de Miller ont observé une aisance physique qui l'avait complètement transformé. Norman Rosten dira: "Le conte de fées était devenu réalité. Le Prince était apparu, la Princesse était sauve." Marilyn écrira au dos d'une photographie du mariage: "Espoir, Espoir, Espoir."
Then, the wedding meal takes bucolic aspect, with the organization of a lunch outside, in the garden.
On the menu: lobster, turkey and champagne and the wedding cake (Millers had approached eight pastry before finding one who agrees to make it in a few hours). Marilyn and Arthur cut the slices together, and kiss each other without restraint. Arthur Miller, usually stoic, is very caring and delighted with his new wife, and Marilyn seems very happy. For several months, Miller's closest friends have observed a physical ease that has completely transformed him. Norman Rosten will say that "The fairy tale came true. The Prince appeared, the Princess was safe." Marilyn wrote on the back of the wedding photography "Hope, Hope, Hope."

Le 2 juillet 1956, le lendemain de la cérémonie juive du mariage de Marilyn d'avec Arthur Miller, Lee Strasberg arrive à l'improviste au bureau de Milton Greene, pour lui demander de verser à sa femme Paula Strasberg un salaire de 2 500 Dollars par semaine, hors les frais de dépenses, pour son travail de coach pour le tournage du "Prince et la Danseuse" qui doit se dérouler en Angleterre. Il propose aussi en alternative, que la société des 'Marilyn Monroe Productions' serve un pourcentage des bénéfices engendrés par le film en échange des services rendus par Paula.
Lee Strasberg était à la tête, avec sa femme Paula, de l'Actor's Studio de New York et ils avaient parfois du mal à gagner de l'argent. A travers Marilyn Monroe, ils ont pu entrevoir une solution à leurs ennuis financiers. Et il semble probable que ce soit Paula qui poussa son mari à aller faire cette requête auprès de Greene. Il lui stipule que si sa demande n'est pas prise en compte, il refuse de laisser Paula partir en Angleterre, en sachant pertinemment que Marilyn étant émotionellement fragile, elle serait incapable de faire le film sans Paula.
Il informe aussi Greene que Laurence Olivier est un mauvais choix pour travailler avec Marilyn et qu'il serait préférable d'engager à la place George Cukor: Lee règle ses propres comptes car Olivier a ouvertement méprisé la "méthode" enseignée à l'Actors Studio et a déjà critiqué la façon d'enseigner de Lee Strasberg. Et comme Marilyn était une élève de l'Actors Studio depuis un an, si elle offre une bonne préstation de comédienne dans "Le Prince et la Danseuse", Strasberg pense que le mérite serait revenu à Olivier. Il cherche donc à ébranler la relation entre Marilyn et Olivier.
Milton Greene considère désormais Lee Strasberg comme une sorte de maître-chanteur et Marilyn ne voulant pas s'impliquer dans les négociations de sa production et refusant toute discussion, elle insiste d'accorder à Strasberg ce qu'il veut. Mais cette requête dépasse le budget des Marilyn Monroe Productions, alors Marilyn propose de donner une partie de son cachet, et c’est ainsi que Paula devient la troisième personne la mieux payée du film, après Laurence Olivier et Marilyn.

On July 2, 1956, the day after of the Jewish wedding ceremony of Marilyn with Arthur Miller, Lee Strasberg arrives unexpectedly at the Milton Greene's office, asking him to pay his wife Paula Strasberg a salary of 2 500 Dollars per week, excluding costs of expenses, for her work as a coach for the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl" to be held in England. He also offers the alternative that society 'Marilyn Monroe Productions' serves a percentage of the profits generated by the film in exchange for the services rendered by Paula.
Lee Strasberg was the head, with wife Paula, of the Actors Studio in New York and they sometimes had trouble making money. Through Marilyn Monroe, they were able to point to a solution to their financial troubles. And it seems likely that this is Paula who pushed her husband to make this request to Greene. He says to him that if his request is not taken into account, he refuses to let Paula going in England, and knowing that Marilyn is emotionally fragile, she would be unable to make the film without Paula.
He also informs Greene that Laurence Olivier is a bad choice to work with Marilyn and it would be best to hire George Cukor instead: Lee settles its own accounts because Olivier has openly despised the "method" taught at the Actors Studio and has criticized how Lee Strasberg works. And as Marilyn was a student of the Actors Studio for a year, if she provides a good performance as an actress in "The Prince and the Showgirl", Strasberg thinks that merit would income to Olivier. So, he wants to undermine the relationship between Olivier and Marilyn.
Milton Greene now considers Lee Strasberg as a kind of blackmailer and Marilyn doesn't want to get involved in the negotiations of its production and refusing any discussion, she insists to give Strasberg what he wants. But this query exceeds the budget of the 'Marilyn Monroe Productions', Marilyn then proposes to give a part of her salary, and this is why Paula becomes the third person with the highest pay on the film after Laurence Olivier and Marilyn.

 Le même jour, le journal Herald Tribune publie une annonce: « Nid d’amour du dramaturge et de la vedette de l’écran. Sept pièces, trois salles de bains, piscine, court de tennis, terrasse, garage pour deux voitures, petit studio. Deux hectares. 29 500$ (38 500 avec plus de douze hectares)». Il s'agit de la propriété d'Arthur Miller à Roxbury dans le Connecticut, celle où avec Marilyn, ils ont donné ensemble une conférence de presse le 29 juin recevant photographes et journalistes du monde entier. La maison sera rapidement vendue à 27 500$ ; après qu’une petite hypothèque et les frais seront réglés, la somme restante sera déposée en main tierce en vue de l’achat d’une propriété voisine.

The same day, the Herald Tribune publishes an announcement: "Love Nest of a playwright and a screen star. Seven rooms, three bathrooms, swimming pool, tennis court, terrace, garage for two cars, small studio. Two hectares. $ 29,500 (38,500 with more than twelve hectares)." This is the Arthur Miller's house in Roxbury, Connecticut, the one where with Marilyn, they gave together a press conference on June 29, receiving worldwide photographers and journalists. The house will soon be sold at $ 27,500, after that a small mortgage and expenses will be paid, the remaining amount will be deposited in escrow for the purchase of a neighboring property.

lot 981: MARILYN MONROE INSCRIBED PHOTOGRAPH
A photograph of Marilyn Monroe mounted to board and inscribed on the board “Oh George,/ You’re a genius!/ Marilyn Monroe.” The black and white image was taken by Cecil Beaton and said to be Monroe’s favorite image of herself.
The consignor relates that in the late 1950s he attended an event at Frank Sinatra’s Palm Springs home as a guest of Sammy Davis Jr. The consignor remembers the photograph being given by Monroe, who was also a guest of Sinatra’s, to Davis’ valet, whom he named as “George.” This is a possible inaccuracy and may have been given to Frank Sinatra’s longtime valet, George Jacobs. The consignor was given the image by the valet George, who said he could not take the item back to Los Angeles. The consignor has had the photograph in his possession since that time.
