Getting back to grocery store celeb sightings, I’m going to relate an old family story about Marilyn Monroe with the hopes that maybe some of the Yalies or Ct people on here know more about this. My mom grew up in Hamden,Ct just outside of New Haven. My mom and grandma always told me that Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller rented a house around the corner from them when he was doing a residency at Yale in the 1950s. Mom and grandma would always point out the house when we drove by. Grandma claimed she saw Marilyn Monroe in the supermarket several times and that her best friend saw them frequently at synagogue . I googled this at one point and I can’t find any information about Miller ever being a scholar in residence at Yale, but Marilyn Monroe did convert to Judaism with Rabbi Goldburg at the local synagogue where Arthur Miller was a member - so at least that part of the story is true.
