By 1950, she was already gaining fame, and by 1954, her infamous affair with JFK began, sparking rumors that would last for decades. The boys touch on her marriages to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, with a bit of humor thrown in, especially when Eric and Sean wonder about Miller’s appeal compared to Marilyn’s stunning beauty.From her platinum blonde hair to her famous red lips and white dress, Marilyn became the embodiment of stardom in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
