“It is your suffering in the past that I respect and even bow down to. I see it often as a kind of trial to which you were cruelly put…You were placed in the jaws of this society without the protection of a family, a name, an identity; it is quite as though you were the pure victim…I do know how desperately you want to shake loose from all the dragging horrors of the past.”

— Arthur Miller in a letter to Marilyn Monroe. (Photo © Andre de Dienes, 1949).
