The outlet also reported that during their marriage Monroe had several miscarriages and was battling depression.

"I guess to be frank about it, I was taking care of her. I was trying to keep her afloat," Miller told Mike Wallace during a 60 Minutes interview in 1987, according to CBS News.

"She was a super-sensitive instrument, and that's exciting to be around until it starts to self-destruct."
