Arthur Miller on the Fate of Marilyn, on the Day of Her Funeral -- 8 Aug 1962

Instead of jetting to the funeral to get my picture taken I decided to stay home and let the public mourners finish the mockery.  Not that everyone there will be false, but enough.  Most of them there destroyed her, ladies and gentlemen.  She was destroyed by many things, and some of those things are you.  And some of those things are destroying you.  Destroying you now.  Now as you stand there weeping and gawking, glad that it is not you going into the earth, glad that it is this lovely girl who at last you killed.
