When reporters asked Monroe if she felt guilty about Gable's death, she refused to answer,
[109] but the journalist Sidney Skolsky recalled that privately she expressed regret for her poor treatment of Gable during filming and described her as being in "a dark pit of despair."
[110] Monroe later attended the christening of the Gables' son, at the invitation of Kay Gable.
[110]The Misfits was the subject of mediocre reviews, and was not a commercial success, though some praised the performances of Monroe and Gable.
[110] Huston later commented that Monroe's performance was not acting in the true sense, and that she had drawn from her own experiences to show herself, rather than a character. "She had no techniques. It was all the truth. It was only Marilyn."

[118]In the final weeks of her life, Monroe engaged in discussions about future film projects, and firm arrangements were made to continue negotiations.
[119] Among the projects was a biography of
Jean Harlow later filmed unsuccessfully with Carroll Baker. Starring roles in
Billy Wilder's

[119]Death and aftermath
The
crypt of Marilyn Monroe
On August 5, 1962,
LAPD police sergeant
Jack Clemmons received a call at 4:25 a.m. from Dr. Ralph Greenson, Monroe's psychiatrist, proclaiming that Monroe was found dead at her home in
Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.
[122] .^ At 36 years old, Marilyn surveyed the parts of her that the public seemed to be most interested in: .
At the subsequent autopsy, eight
milligram percent of
Chloral Hydrate and 4.5 milligram percent of
Nembutal were found in her system,
[123] and Dr.
Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroners office recorded cause of death as "acute barbiturate poisoning," resulting from a "probable suicide".
[124] Many theories, including murder, circulated about the circumstances of her death and the timeline after the body was found.
.^ Some people believe that the mob did it in order to try to expose Marilyn and Robert's relationship to the public (which would have ruined the Kennedys).
^ Most if not all of the other people that she spoke with that night said she did not sound drugged and that she revealed to them some secret information regarding her relationship to Robert Kennedy.

Elsie Poncher plans to exhume her husband and move him to an adjacent plot. She advertised the crypt, hoping "to make enough money to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage" on her Beverly Hills mansion.
[127] The winning bid was placed by an anonymous Japanese man for $4.6 million,
[129] but the winning bidder later backed out "because of the paying problem"

mental cruelty 274 days after the wedding.

City Court Judge Seymour Robinowitz presided over the hushed ceremony in the law office of Sam Slavitt (the wedding had been kept secret from both the press and the public). Monroe and Miller wed again two days later in a Jewish ceremony before a small group of guests. Rabbi Robert E. Goldburg, a Reform rabbi at Congregation Mishkan Israel, presided over the ceremony.
[133] Their nuptials were celebrated at the home of Miller's literary agent, Kay Brown, in
Westchester County,
NY. Some 30 friends and relatives attended the hastily arranged party. In reflecting on his courtship of Monroe, Miller wrote, "She was a whirling light to me then, all paradox and enticing mystery, street-tough one moment, then lifted by a lyrical and poetic sensitivity that few retain past early adolescence."
[134] Nominally raised as a
Christian,
she converted to
Judaism before marrying Miller.
[135][136][137][138] After she finished shooting
The Prince and the Showgirl with
Laurence Olivier, the couple returned to the United States from England and discovered she was pregnant.
Miller's screenplay for
The Misfits, a story about a despairing divorcée, was meant to be a
Valentine gift for his wife, but by the time filming started in 1960 their marriage was beyond repair. A
Mexican divorce was granted on January 24, 1961 in Ciudad Juarez by Francisco José Gómez Fraire. On February 17, 1962, Miller married
Inge Morath, one of the
Magnum photographers recording the making of
The Misfits.
In January 1964, Miller's play
After The Fall opened, featuring a beautiful and devouring shrew named Maggie.
Simone Signoret noted in her autobiography the morbidity of Miller and

In October 1999,
Christie's auctioned the bulk of the items, including those recovered from Melson's family, netting US $13,405,785.
Anna Strasberg then sued the children of four photographers to determine rights of publicity, which permits the licensing of images of deceased personages for commercial purposes. The decision was worth millions as to whether Monroe was a resident of California (where she died) or New York (where her will was probated).
[143]On May 4, 2007, a judge in New York ruled that Monroe's rights of publicity ended at death.
[144][145][146] In October 2007, Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill 771.
[147] The legislation was supported by Strasberg and the
Screen Actors Guild,
[148] and established that non-family members may inherit rights of publicity through the residuary clause of the deceased's will, provided that the person was a resident of California at the time of death.
