Marilyn: a Biography
“Who could prevent it? The newspapers shift their new predictions for the date of the nuptials from edition to edition, and even Miller’s “No comment” becomes a headline on his return from Reno. Now there are fifty variants on one fertile idea: the Great American Brain is marrying the Great American Body. Because Marilyn is taking up the faith (Reformed Synagogue), the New York Post, whose base of readership is suburban liberal, trade union, middle class and — in the absence of other sheets — progressive, goes in for tooth-sucking analyses of the wedding to come, plus an interview with Arthur Miller’s mother. “She opened her whole heart to me,”
said Mrs. Miller, who then told how Marilyn was learning to make gefilte fish, borscht, chicken soup with matzoh balls, chopped liver, tsimis, potato pirogen — Marilyn is obviously going to have to come her way from Dougherty’s carrots and peas.
Now the House Un-American Activities Committee provides an interruption to their plans for marriage.
