Arthur Miller married Marilyn Monroe soon after he appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Specifically, Miller testified before HUAC on June 21, 1956, and he married Monroe just four days later, on June 29, 1956, in a civil ceremony in White Plains, New York, followed by a Jewish wedding ceremony a few days after that, during which Monroe converted to Judaism
. Monroe stood by Miller during his HUAC testimony despite the risk to her own career, showing loyalty both publicly and privately
. Their marriage, however, faced difficulties and eventually ended in divorce in 1961
