Can somebody tell me? I realize she had a taste for guy's other than what most girls go for and thats all good but what did she see in this ugly older boring guy that made her cheat on her husband? I know, her relationship with her husband was not great but why this guy? Can some girl give me the answer? And don't say it was the stimulating conversation please......

According to a biography I read about Marilyn, from what she remembered of her father, he resembled Abraham Lincoln. The men she married and dated sort of fit that type in one way or another: craggy features, tall, thin, dark hair. Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller, and Yves Montand all have these features.

I have read that in private Marilyn told her close friends that Montand reminded her of Joe. And Montand and Joe have something else in common besides a general physical resemblance - they were both Italian. Montand was born in Italy to Italian parents who moved to France when Montand was very young. His parents changed their Italian names to French names. Yves' real first name is Ivo.

montand was only 5 years older than Marilyn (not an old codger) he was a movie star, suave, had a French accent and was shooting love scenes with her, is it a shock they had an affair??

Probably loved his exotic accent and him speaking French to her in bed.
