Arthur Miller was an American playwright and essayist. He wrote All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, and A View from the Bridge.
Miller was often in the public eye for refusing to give evidence against others to the House Un-American Activities Committee, for being the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama among other awards, and for marrying Marilyn Monroe. Miller is considered one of the greatest American playwrights.
