FRIEL Life Remembered: Arthur Miller...

Arthur Asher Miller was an American playwright and essayist. He was born on October 17, 1915 and died on February 10, 2005.

He made his name with plays which exposed the emptiness of the American dream. He was a prominent figure in American theatre, writing dramas that include awards-winning plays such as All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible.

Miller was often in the public eye, particularly during the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s, a period during which he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and was married to Marilyn Monroe.
