The Vamp and the Intellectual (Colour Litho)

The vamp and the intellectual. The engagement of the famous American film actress Marilyn Monroe (30 years old, divorced twice) to the playwright Arturo Miller (41 years old, divorced once, two children) has made the States sound United not only for her immense popularity but also because he was under political investigation for suspected pro-communism. Besieged relentlessly by newspaper reporters, the two engaged couples were surprised one day leaving home and forced to hold a press conference on the sidewalk, in the presence of passers-by.
