“As I was coming to the end of the writing of After the Fall, the horrifying news came that Marilyn had died, apparently of an overdose of sleeping pills. There are people so vivid in life that they seem not to disappear when they die, and for many weeks I found myself having to come about and force myself to encounter the fact that Marilyn had ended. I realized that I still, even then, expected to meet her once more, somewhere, sometime, and maybe talk sensibly about all the foolishness we had been through- in which case I would probably have fallen in love with her again. And the ironic logic of her death did not help much: I could still see her coming across the lawn, or touching something, or laughing, at the same time that I confronted the end of her as one might stand watching the sinking sun. ” – Arthur Miller Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller photographed by Jack Cardiff during the filming of “The Prince and the Showgirl”, 1956 -- source link
