Miller recounted an incident where he had to call in doctors to save her life after she ingested a lethal amount of drugs. He observed, “I felt she was in a very fragile psychological state. Ultimately, it took several years, but the inevitable happened. It was beyond my or anyone else’s ability to prevent it.”
“She couldn’t sustain that level of intensity in life, coupled with drug use, and hope to survive,” he added.
According to a source familiar with these newly released recordings, Miller bore a long-standing guilt over Monroe’s deterioration, despite believing that saving her might have been beyond anyone’s reach.
The source stated, “Arthur clearly loved Marilyn deeply, but these recordings show a man who was emotionally drained and overwhelmed by the turmoil in her life.”
Another person who has extensively studied Monroe’s life remarked that the recordings depict her as a woman caught between the pressures of fame, insecurity, and addiction.
This individual noted, “What is striking is how isolated Marilyn seemed to become. Arthur describes someone who increasingly lost trust in those around her and struggled to find stability, even within her marriage.”
