Dougherty, who was 20 years old at the time, initially married Monroe to prevent her from going back into the foster care system as her mother, Gladys, was in and out of psychiatric facilities.
After their wedding, the young couple honeymooned on a lake in Ventura County and moved into an apartment in Sherman Oaks.
The newlyweds moved to the island in California where Monroe "was just a housewife," Dougherty told United Press International. The couple would divorce in , while Dougherty was serving overseas and Monroe began pursuing a career in Hollywood. According to History , the couple had originally wanted to keep the nuptials low-key.
But press and fans crowded San Fransisco City Hall after Monroe casually mentioned the wedding to a person at her film studio. Her comments were reportedly leaked. After first meeting on a double date, Monroe and DiMaggio dated for two years before tying the knot. Both of them had been divorced previously—DiMaggio's first wife, Dorothy Arnold, filed divorce papers in citing "cruel indifference" for the reason of separation.

The couple traveled to Japan, which they coordinated with a prearranged work trip for DiMaggio. Monroe wrote in her biography that she was hesitant to meet DiMaggio, because she thought the retired baseball legend would be too egotistical. But after she did, the two embarked on a tumultuous, yet loving relationship. Following their union, both of their careers flourished. Monroe's film career was taking off, having just starring in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, while DiMaggio was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in There were twenty-five guests and the ceremony was performed by Rabbi Robert Goldberg.
The newlyweds soon went off to London for the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl. It was a blow from which the marriage would never recover. Fifty-nine-year-old Gable had a fatal heart attack just days after The Misfits wrapped, and some blame his macho insistence on doing his own stunts in the film, especially during a harrowing sequence that involved roping wild mustangs.
She died the year after it was released and never completed another film. One of my favorite photographs of Monroe was taken in , the year before she married Miller. The shot is clearly stylized and yet something about it seems unposed; Monroe squints a little quizzically at the page, her mouth slack and a few of her toes hovering off the ground, lost in the bodily hypnosis of reading.
Arthur Miller: Writer is, among other things, a fresh reason to mourn the fact that Marilyn Monroe never got to be old and wise like her last husband. Although maybe that was always asking for too much: An old Marilyn Monroe would have been entirely beside the point. Maybe a wise one, too. But maybe, at least for a fleeting moment, Miller took her seriously.
The strange benevolence of this one-sided portrait of Monroe and Miller is that you walk away from it thinking, perhaps simplistically, that he really understood her.
That under slightly different circumstances, they could have been happy. That was the difference. People thought they could imitate her by being cute.
But she was being cute and making fun of being cute at the same time. There was another dimension, which is very difficult to do. I hope it does. But still, despite both being married to other people, Miller and Monroe would never stop thinking about each other. Eventually, after divorcing their spouses, Miller and Monroe got married.
They split years later, but still remained friends.
