Arthur Miller: Biography and Much More From Answers.com (3894 words)
Miller's tumultuous life with his second wife, Marilyn Monroe, to whom he was married from 1956 to 1961, is fictionalized in his After the Fall (1964), and a barely disguised version of the glamorous but troubled actress also appears in his last play, Finishing the Picture (2004).
Miller was one of the original founders of International PEN's Writers in Prison committee, and in 1965 was elected its president, a position he held for four years.
Miller and Monroe's marriage was deteriorating at the time of shoot -- the summer and fall of 1960 -- due to her rampant drug abuse, her open infidelity with actor Yves Montand, and her panoply of mental illnesses.
Arthur Miller (b. 1915) (1116 words)
Miller has said that the theme of the play is "the handing over of conscience to the state." The question is not entirely a remote one, as almost any major newspaper or television exposé can make the issue clear to today's students.
Miller, possibly as a result of the play, was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956 on the pretense of issuing him a passport.
Miller's comments in conversations and interviews are frequently more enlightening than any other playwright in our history because he is articulate as well as theoretically sophisticated.
