Arthur Bob Miller (October 17, 1915 – February 10, 2005) was an American playwright and essayist. He was a prominent figure in American literature and cinema for over 61 years, writing a wide variety of plays, including celebrated plays such as The Crucible, A View from the Bridge, All My Sons, and Death of a Salesman, which are still studied^[1] and performed^[2] worldwide. Miller was often in the public eye, most famously for refusing to give evidence before the House Un-American Activities Committee, being the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama among other awards, and for marrying Marilyn Monroe. At the time of his death, Miller was considered one of the greatest American playwrights.

Early career

In 1944 Miller wrote The Man Who Had All the Luck, which was produced in New York and won the Theatre Guild's National Award.^[11] Despite this critical success, the play closed after only six performances.^[6] The next few years were difficult for Miller: He published his first novel, Focus, to little acclaim and adapted George Abbott's and John C. Holm's Three Men on a Horse for television.^[6] Things changed in 1947, when Miller's All My Sons was produced at the Coronet Theatre. The play was directed by Elia Kazan, with whom Miller would have a continuing professional and personal relationship, and ran for three hundred and twenty-eight performances.^[9] All My Sons won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award^[12] and two Tony Awards^[13] in 1947, despite Miller receiving criticism for being a Communist.^[4] George Abbott (June 25, 1887 - January 31, 1995) was a theatre producer and director, playwright, screenwriter, and film director and producer whose career spanned more than seven decades. ...

In 1948 Miller built a small studio in Roxbury, Connecticut, a town that was to be his long time home. There, within the space of six weeks, he wrote Death of a Salesman,^[6] the work for which he is best known.^[14][5] Death of a Salesman premiered on Broadway on February 10, 1949 at the Morocco Theatre, directed by Kazan, and starring Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman. The play was a huge critical success, winning a Tony Award for best play,^[15] a New York Drama Critics' Award,^[12] and a Pulitzer Prize,^[16][17] and ran for seven hundred and forty-two performances.^[5] Image File history File links Cover to the Penguin Group book of the play, Death of a Salesman. ...

In 1952, Elia Kazan appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and, under fear of being blacklisted from Hollywood, named eight people from the Group Theatre who in recent years had been fellow members of the Communist Party.^[18] After speaking with Kazan about his testimony^[19] Miller traveled to Salem, Massachusetts to research the witch trials of 1692.^[9] The Crucible, an allegorical play in which Miller likened the situation with the House Un-American Activities Committee to the witchhunt in Salem,^[20] opened at the Beck Theatre on Broadway on January 22, 1953. Though widely considered unsuccessful at the time of its initial release, today The Crucible is one of Miller's most frequently produced works.^[9] Miller and Kazan had been close friends throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, but after Kazan's testimony to HUAC, the pair's friendship ended, and they did not speak to each other for the next ten years.^[18] HUAC took an interest in Miller himself not long after The Crucible opened, denying him a passport to attend the play's London opening in 1954.^[6] HUAC hearings House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC or HCUA) (1938–1975) was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives. ...

Miller's experience with HUAC affected him throughout his life. In the late 1970s he became very interested in the highly publicized Barbara Gibbons murder case, in which Gibbons' son Peter Reilly was convicted of his mother's murder based on what many felt was a coerced confession and little other evidence. An A&E program City Confidential about the murder postulates that part of the reason Miller took such an active interest--including using his own celebrity to bring attention to Reilly's plight and supporting Reilly's defense--was because he had felt similarly persecuted in his run-in with the HUAC. He sympathized with Reilly, whom he firmly believed was innocent and had been railroaded by the Connecticut State Police and the Attorney General who had initially prosecuted the case.

1956 - 1964

In June of 1956 Miller divorced Mary Slattery, and on June 29, he married Marilyn Monroe.^[9] Miller and Monroe had first met in 1951, when they had a brief affair,^[9] and had remained in contact since then.^[5] is the 180th day of the year (181st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Taking advantage of the publicity of Miller's marriage, HUAC subpoenaed him to appear before the committee shortly before the nuptials. Before appearing, Miller asked the committee not to ask him to name names, to which the chairman agreed.^[21] When Miller attended the hearing, to which Monroe accompanied him, risking her own career,^[9] he gave the committee a detailed account of his political activities. Reneging on the chairman's promise, the committee asked him to reveal to the names of friends and colleagues who had partaken in similar activities.^[21] Miller refused to comply with the request, saying "I could not use the name of another person and bring trouble on him."^[21] As a result a judge found Miller guilty of contempt of Congress in May 1957. Miller was fined $500, sentenced to thirty days in prison, blacklisted, and disallowed a U.S. passport.^[3] In 1958 his conviction was overturned by the court of appeals, which ruled that Miller had been misled by the chairman of HUAC.^[3] Image File history File links Miller_and_Monroe. ...

After his conviction was overturned, Miller began work on The Misfits, which starred his wife.

Later career

In 1964 Miller's next play was produced. After the Fall is a deeply personal view of Miller's own experiences during his marriage to Monroe. The play reunited Miller with his former friend Kazan: they collaborated on both the script and the direction. After the Fall opened on January 23, 1964 at the ANTA Theatre in Washington Square Park amid a flurry of publicity and outrage at putting a Monroe-like character, called Maggie, on stage.^[9] Also in the same year, Miller produced Incident at Vichy. In 1965, Miller was elected the first American president of International PEN, a position which he held for four years.^[22] During this period Miller wrote the penetrating family drama, The Price, produced in 1968.^[9] It was Miller's most successful play since Death of a Salesman.^[23] After the Fall is a play by American dramatist Arthur Miller. ...

In 1969, Miller's works were banned in the Soviet Union after he campaigned for the freedom of dissident writers.^[6] Throughout the 1970s, Miller spent much of his time experimenting with the theatre, producing one-act plays such as Fame and The Reason Why, and traveling with his wife, producing In The Country and Chinese Encounters with her. Both his 1972 comedy The Creation of the World and Other Business and its musical adaptation, Up from Paradise, were critical and commercial failures.^{[citation needed]} The Creation of the World and Other Business is a play by Arthur Miller. ...

In 1983, Miller traveled to the People's Republic of China to produce and direct Death of a Salesman at the People's Art Theatre in Beijing. The play was a success in China^[23] and in 1984, Salesman in Beijing, a book about Miller's experience in Beijing, was published. Around the same time, Death of a Salesman was made into a TV movie, starring Dustin Hoffman as Willy Loman. Shown on CBS, it attracted 25 million viewers.^[6][24] In late 1987, Miller's autobiography, Timebends was published. Before his autobiography was published, it was well known that that Miller would not talk about Monroe in interviews; in Timebends Miller talks about his experiences with Monroe in detail.^[9] During the early 1990s Miller wrote three new plays, The Ride Down Mt. Morgan (1991), The Last Yankee (1992), and Broken Glass (1994). In 1996, a film of The Crucible starring Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder opened. Miller spent much of 1996 working on the screenplay to the film.^[6] Death of a Salesman was revived on Broadway in 1999 to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. The play, once again, was a large critical success, winning a Tony Award for best revival of a play.^[25] On May 1, 2002, Miller was awarded Spain's Principe de Asturias Prize for Literature as "the undisputed master of modern drama." Previous winners include Doris Lessing, Günter Grass and Carlos Fuentes. Later that year, Ingeborg Morath, died of Lymphatic cancer^[26][27] at the age of 78. The following year Miller won the Jerusalem Prize.^[6] In December 2004, the 89-year-old Miller announced that he has been living with a 34-year-old artist Agnes Barley at his Connecticut farm since 2002, and that they intended to marry. Miller's final play, Finishing the Picture, opened at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, in the fall of 2004. He stated that the work was based on the experience of filming The Misfits.
