Tired Of It
Monroe stated at the time that she was "tired of the same old sex roles." As Fox had breached a part of their contract to her, the contract was null and void, allowing her to leave the studio early. The studio mocked her in a movie in which Jane Mansfield played a foolish actress who runs off the start her own production company...sound familiar?
FBI Involvement
Monroe and DiMaggio continued seeing each other despite the divorce, but she was also involved with Marlon Brando and Arthur Miller. Monroe and Miller became official in October 1955, when both parties were officially ending their other relationships. Miller, a supposed communist, was under investigation by the FBI. Once their relationship was confirmed, so was Marilynn.
