Marilyn Monroe

Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe was married three times. Her first husband was James Dougherty, a 21-year-old neighbor whom she married in 1942 when she was just 16. The couple divorced in 1946, after which she married her second husband, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio. The couple had a tumultuous marriage and divorced nine months later. Monroe’s longest marriage was to her third husband, playwright Arthur Miller. Although the couple remained married for five years, the union was troubled, and they divorced in 1961. Monroe described her three failed marriages as a "three-ring circus."
