Our brains like to categorize things to keep things simple. Otherwise, it’s information overload and too much to assess and remember.

This photo shows the two meeting one another at a movie premier for The Battle of the River Plate in Leicester Square, London in 1956. They were both 30 at the time. Marilyn was with Arthur Miller, her husband at the time. If Marilyn was alive today, she’d be 92 years old.
