Reno bids farewell to 1905 famous bridge
THE 'Wedding Ring Bridge' made famous by Marliyn Munroe in the 1961 film The Misfits is being demolished.
RENO is bidding a bittersweet farewell to an iconic 110-year-old bridge made famous by newly divorced women - and a Marilyn Monroe character - who walked from the courthouse to cast their past and their wedding rings in the river below.
KNOWN as the "Wedding Ring Bridge", it became a symbol of Reno as the "Divorce Capital of the World" until other states relaxed their laws in the 1960s.
