'''Arthur Asher Miller''' ([[October 17]], [[1915]] &ndash; [[February 10]], [[2005]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[playwright]] and [[essayist]]. He was a prominent figure in [[American literature]] and [[film|cinema]] for over 61 years, writing a wide variety of [[play]]s, including celebrated plays such as ''[[The Crucible]]'', ''[[A View from the Bridge]]'', ''[[All My Sons]]'', and ''[[Death of a Salesman]]'', which are still studied<ref>{{cite web

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.

In 1938, Miller received his [[bachelor's degree]] in English. After graduation, he joined the [[Federal Theater Project]], a [[New Deal]] agency established to provide jobs in the theater.

Though widely considered unsuccessful at the time of its initial release, today ''The Crucible'' is one of Miller's most frequently produced works.<ref name="Observer_obit"/> 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.<ref name="AmMasters"/> 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.<ref name="chronology"/> Kazan defended his own actions through the film, [[On the Waterfront]], in which a dockworker heroically testifies against a corrupt union boss. Miller was in turn to respond with the play [[A View from the Bridge]], in which another dockworker's decision to inform on two illegal immigrants is based on ignoble, self-serving motives. Miller did have his case overturned and his passport returned. His feelings on the matter about the HUAC never changed.

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. [[City Confidential]], an [[A&E]] program about the murder, postulates that part of the reason Miller took such an active interest (including supporting Reilly's defense and using his own celebrity to bring attention to Reilly's plight) was because he had felt similarly persecuted in his run-in with the HUAC. He sympathized with Reilly, whom he firmly believed to be innocent and to have been railroaded by the Connecticut State Police and the Attorney General who had initially prosecuted the case. {{Fact|date=October 2007}}

In 1955 a one-act version of Miller's [[verse drama]], ''[[A View from the Bridge|A View From The Bridge]]'', opened on Broadway in a joint bill with one of Miller's lesser-known plays, ''[[A Memory of Two Mondays]]''. The following year, Miller returned to ''A View from the Bridge,'' revising it into a two-act prose version, which [[Peter Brook]] produced in [[London]].<ref name="chronology"/>

===1956 - 1964===
In June of 1956 Miller divorced Mary Slattery, and on [[June 29]], he married [[Marilyn Monroe]].<ref name="Observer_obit"/> Miller and Monroe had first met in 1951, when they had a brief affair,<ref name="Observer_obit"/> and had remained in contact since then.<ref name="Times_obit"/>
[[Image:Miller and Monroe.jpg|left|thumb|180 px|Miller and Monroe at a press conference after their wedding.]]

Taking advantage of the publicity of Miller's marriage, HUAC [[subpoena]]ed 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.<ref name="BBCOnThisDay">{{cite web

When Miller attended the hearing, to which Monroe accompanied him, risking her own career,<ref name="Observer_obit"/> 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.<ref name="BBCOnThisDay"/> Miller refused to comply with the request, saying "I could not use the name of another person and bring trouble on him."<ref name="BBCOnThisDay"/>
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.<ref name="UMICH_Early"/> In 1958 his conviction was overturned by the court of appeals, which ruled that Miller had been misled by the chairman of HUAC.<ref name="UMICH_Early"/>

After his conviction was overturned, Miller began work on ''[[The Misfits (film)|The Misfits]]'', which starred his wife. Miller said that the filming was one of the lowest points in his life,<ref name="Observer_obit"/> and shortly before the film's premiere in 1961, the pair divorced.<ref name="chronology"/> A year later, Monroe died of an apparent drug overdose.

Miller married photographer [[Inge Morath]] on [[February 17]] [[1962]], and the first of their two children, [[Rebecca Miller|Rebecca]], was born that September. Their son Daniel was born with [[Down Syndrome]] in November, 1966, and was consequently institutionalized and excluded from the Miller's personal life at Miller's insistence<ref name="VanityFair">{{cite news

===Later career===
In 1964 Miller's next play was produced. ''[[After the Fall (play)|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 (play)|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.<ref name="Observer_obit"/> 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.<ref>{{cite news

In 1969, Miller's works were banned in the [[Soviet Union]] after he campaigned for the freedom of dissident writers.<ref name="chronology"/> 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.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

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<ref name="UMICH_60s70s80s"/> 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.<ref name="chronology"/><ref>The Cambridge History of American Theatre: Post-World War II to the 1990s, Page:296 (Cambridge University Press, 2006).</ref> 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.<ref name="Observer_obit"/>
During the early 1990s Miller wrote three new plays, ''[[The Ride Down Mt. Morgan]]'' (1991), ''[[The Last Yankee]]'' (1992), and ''[[Broken Glass (play)|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.<ref name="chronology"/>
''[[Mr. Peters' Connections]]'' was staged [[off-Broadway]] in 1998, and ''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.<ref>{{cite web

*''In the Country'' (1977), with phototographs by Morath and text by Miller, provides insight into how Miller spent his time in Roxbury, Connecticut and profiles of his various neighbors.
*''Chinese Encounters'' (1979) is a travel journal with photographs by Morath. It depicts the Chinese society in the state of flux which followed the end of the [[Cultural Revolution]]. Miller discusses the hardships of many writers, professors, and artists as they try to regain the sense of freedom and place they lost during [[Mao Zedong]]'s regime.
*''Salesman in Beijing'' (1984) details Miller's experiences with the 1983 [[Beijing]] People's Theatre production of ''Death of a Salesman''. He describes the idiosyncrasies, misunderstandings, and insights encountered in directing a Chinese cast in a decidedly American play.
*''Timebends: A Life'', Methuen London (1987) ISBN 0413414809. Like ''Death of a Salesman'', the book follows the structure of memory itself, each passage linked to and triggered by the one before.
