Over the last 80 years there has been much interest in the problem of finding an explicit formula for the probability density function of two zero mean correlated normal random variables. Motivated by this historical interest, we use a recent technique from the Stein's method literature to obtain a simple new proof, which also serves as an exposition of a general method that may be useful in related problems.
