Actually DiMaggio doesn't look that bad in that one. Just taking what he wants. Overall it is a tie with these two, the sports star and the sex symbol.

More surprising to me is that the pantywaist playwright, Arthur Miller, looks like more of a boss in his photos with her.

He was no pantywaist. He refused to "name names" before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, risking his career. Many entertainers who did that never recovered.

I guess it shows that, back then, even complete whores knew to act like devoted wives when the camera was watching.

Even here as no one seems to be aware of the camera, she leans her entire body towards him. His body does not lead towards hers, probably because she was high on pills yet again and he was shit of her shit.



I always assumed he dumped her because she was a druggie. He remarried a year after their split and had a child with a new wife, something she was unable to do. Probably again due to drug use.
