Ein WDR-Zeitzeichen über Inge Morath, geboren in Graz, viel herumgekommen in der Welt, Fotografin.
Die unter anderem bei den Dreharbeiten von Misfits fotografiert. Drehbuch Arthur Miller, verheiratet mit Marilyn Monroie.
Sie ergreift die Gelegenheit beim Schopf. Ist das die Bedeutung von Καιρός?
Arthur Miller fragt nach Fotos, die sie von ihm gemacht hat. Sie lernen sich genauer kennen und -- heiraten. Sie haben Kinder, auch einen behinderten Sohn, den Miller ablehnt und verleugnet.
Die Wikipedia fasst das so:
"Von 1962 bis zu deren Tod 2002 war Miller mit der österreichischen Fotografin Inge Morath verheiratet. Aus dieser Ehe stammen die Kinder Rebecca (* 1962) und Daniel Miller (* 1966). Erst 2007 wurde bekannt, dass Miller die Existenz seines in einem Heim lebenden Sohnes mit Down-Syndrom vor der Öffentlichkeit geheim gehalten hatte."
Ist das verständlich, das mit der Geheimhaltung des behinderten Sohns, oder ist es doch ein "menschlicher Makel" bei einem Schriftsteller?

Arthur Miller's life had its own lost act: A son placed out of sight | By JASON ZINOMANAUG. 30, 2007
NEW YORK — It had been something of an open secret for years, but most people did not learn the story of Daniel Miller until last week, when Vanity Fair published an article called "Arthur Miller's Missing Act."
As described in Suzanna Andrews's 5,000-word article, Arthur Miller, who died in February 2005, and his third wife, the photographer Inge Morath, had a son born with Down syndrome in 1966. Soon after, they made the painful decision to put the child, Miller's youngest, in an institution for the mentally retarded before Miller essentially cut him out of his life.
Andrews describes in detail how Miller rarely, if ever, accompanied his wife on weekly visits to see Daniel, almost never mentioned him to shocked friends and didn't mention him in his memoir, "Timebends."
