Arthur Miller wrote what became her and her co-star Clark Gable's last completed film, The Misfits.
The exhausting shoot took place in the hot Nevada desert. Monroe, Gable and Montgomery Clift
delivered performances that are considered excellent by contemporary movie critics.[31] Tabloid
magazines blamed Gable's death of a heart attack on Monroe, citing her tardiness and quoting Gable's
widow Kay Spreckels Gable, who claimed that her husband did his own stunt work out of the
frustration of waiting for Monroe.[32] Exacerbating the situation was Gable's advanced age, plus long
history of alcohol and tobacco use. Monroe was invited by Kay to the baptismal ceremony for her and
Clark's son John Clark Gable. She attended.
In 1962, some of the most famous photographs of Monroe were taken by Bert Stern as a feature for
