Arthur Miller

Biography

Arthur Asher Miller (October 17, 1915 – February 10, 2005) was an American playwright, essayist and author. He was a prominent figure in American literature and cinema for over 61 years, writing a wide variety of plays, including The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, All My Sons and Death of a Salesman, which are still widely studied and performed worldwide. Miller was often in the public eye, most famously for refusing to give evidence before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and by virtue of his marriage to Marilyn Monroe from June 1956 through January 1961. At the time of his death on February 10, 2005, Miller--twice the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama--was considered one of the greatest American playwrights of all time.
