    I do think Arthur loved Marilyn in ways that will never be publicly known or understood. I also believe he was certainly a man of his era; sort of emotionally limited. This interviewer is right. Arthur’s face changes when he talks about Marilyn. At times (in various interviews), I see guilt and sadness and pain, and some fleeting moments I see fondness, nostalgia, and love. His face lights up.

    He described Marilyn Monroe as a “super sensitive instrument.” Interesting choice of words.

      Such celebrities are mediums in a way. The stardom is a creation of unfulfilled parts of others and the person . Not knowing and integrating leads to destruction.

    Once upon a time he wrote in his diary that he was embarassed by Marilyn in front of his friends.
    Thats a horrible thing to do to his wife. Instead of criticising Marilyn he should have been supporting her, especially in her darkest moments.
    Now, I have never met Miller, but based on this, I wouldn't want to have met him. I think he's nothing but a vulture.

    To me, Arthur Miller comes across as cold and distant. It doesnt seem like he has much loving for anyone, except maybe himself. No disrespect to his family; but I think Marilyn made the mistake of depending on a man for her happiness and I think whenever a woman or anyone really, relies on someone for their happiness, he/she is ultimately or eventually disappointed.

    Conveniently not asked about was Arthur Miller's son, Daniel, who was born with Down Syndrome. This great intellect, dumped his own son in a home for infants. While Miller was an amazing playwright, it is terrible the interview was not more honest.

      He didn't dump his child. Read his autobiography and the film his daughter made. Arthur and his wife decided sending their son to an institution would provide the best life for him. Arthur even wrote about how much he 'wept' for Daniel in his book. Also in his daughter's film, they talk about how Arthur and the rest of the family all kept in contact with Daniel Miller.

    Arthur comes off as intelligent but emotionally unavailable cold and distant when it came to Marylin, exactly what drew her to him, his unavailability...repeating old patterns of a distorted definition of love. You can’t blame either...that’s how broken people “bond”...

      I think that this guy was probably responsible for her death. It's a theory. I mean....he was hung up on her, and she was getting with guys like Joe DiMaggio and JFK (liking them better more than likely, too). She probably liked the last two guys better than they took to her as well. On a tangent here, she did convert to Judaism when she married Arthur Miller (even though she did nude spreads in print back in the day prior to "finding religion").

    Of couse she was sensitive,
    she still loved her mother after what she did to her many would never forgive a mother who tried to kill them,she forgave and even criec over her mum, if only her mother was as loving and caring to her. Its hard not to love your mother its part of our blood, but even a child who has been abused can forget the abuse,or what happened,because as a child the humsn brain blocks out very trauamatic events,its like a safety thing because its too painful to take,it stays a lifetime in our subco
    ncious mind. Some kids grow up not remembering some of the abuse,their brain shut it out as it was too painful.

    If only Marilyn had left Hollywood,at the time she w
    was in deep depression about loosing their baby and got the right help,the rest and the right doctor, she would have been still happy with Arthur,he was a real man,who loved and took care of her,but her distruction was caused by Hollywood and what they did to a vurnerable actress and woman who was in grief about loosing their child. IF a doctor in this modern day did that,to a patient,he would be struck off and charged with murder. They killed her with those drugs and the fact they were afraid the,then government would be in trouble, if people found out about any infidelity.

    She wanted to be loved and accepted just like any other human being,because she never got that in childhood,she ended up trying to please the wrong people, ones who plotted her downfall. People should never judge, when you have not had an abusive terrible childhood,you will never know the impact it has on a person,it srays with them all their life. Arthur was a beautiful soul a caring,loving person, others were powerful,egotistical men, who don't like to see pewerful good looking women in a good light, so they use them,abuse them and call themselves men,when they are nothing but cowards, who need to keep proving to people they are men. Arthur was a real man, he never used or abused Marilyn.

    I think it's interesting that today there is a public assumption that 'previous generations repressed and never talked about depression or mental health', but I think this is not true. Some people in every generation have repressed these conversations, but this interview is a good example of how it was considered in the mid-late 20th century. Right at the beginning of this (fairly centrist) broadcast from 1987 - "bitter depression" is faced head-on. Then throughout the whole interview, there is a serious conversation about feelings, therapy, relationships, etc.
    I guess the big difference is that these topics are dealt with through the lens of resilience, moral principles, choices, and responsibility. Rare to see today.

      He’s was a playwright . That language “ super sensitive instrument” is the language of a writer about an actress.
      Many actors and acting teachers use the expression of being an instrument for your work.
      Completely understandable expression.
