Arthur Miller: The man beyond the playwright In the 1950s, everyone knew who playwright Arthur Miller was. His plays “Death of a Salesman” and “The Crucible” were huge hits. Marilyn Monroe was his wife. But his daughter, Rebecca Miller, felt like the world didn’t know the real man. So Rebecca made a documentary: “Arthur Miller: Writer.” Her film is out this week on HBO.
