  • Playwright Arthur Miller Dies at 89

    Arthur Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright whose most famous fictional creation, Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman," came to symbolize the American Dream gone awry, has died. He was 89.

    Miller, who had been hailed as America's greatest living playwright, died Thursday night at his home in Roxbury of heart failure, his assistant, Julia Bolus, said Friday. His family was at his bedside, she said.

    His plays, with their strong emphasis on family, morality and personal responsibility, spoke to the growing fragmentation of American society.

        I enjoyed the Crucible.

        Is he the last of Marilyn Monroe's husbands to die?

          I read "The Crucible" and liked it very much.. especially the parallels to the Red Scare of the 50's in the USA.
