What a great, full life. He had two brand new plays produced in the past couple of years. That should inspire anyone.
Perhaps now they'll finally name a theater after him. (Anyone else bothered by the fact that we've had theaters named after critics before the greatest American playwrights? Walter Kerr and B. Atkinson before Tennessee or Arthur? Shameful.)

Posted: 2/11/05 at 10:52amI know it's not the most popular opinion, but I thought he was our greatest American playwrite. The Crucible is my favorite play, with All My Son's nipping at it's heels. A truly great artist, whoose contributions will live on forever. Thanks for sharing your vision.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 10:55amThe theater has lost one of its brightest lights. This man was a genius.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 10:57amWe're still waiting for the Great American Novel, but we HAVE the Great American Play and Miller wrote it - Death of a Salesman. The man was a giant.

He never stopped, what a full life both on and off the stage.

I had the pleasure of attending an opening night party for "The Crucible" revival a few years ago. There was a glittering crowd of notables at the party - Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson, Mike Nichols, etc. Despite this, all I could see was Arthur Miller sitting a couple of tables away. Getting the chance just to shake his hand was worth everything to me. (I wish I could have gotten a picture that night.)
He was truly a legend of the theatre and I agree - a house should definitely be named after him.
A click for life.

Oh no. What sad news. Truly a legend. 
#17re: Arthur Miller Passed Away
Posted: 2/11/05 at 11:32amHow truly sad. Such a loss. I was first introduced to his work in high school when I played Elizabeth Proctor in The Crucible. My acting was terrible but I never forgot the impact his words had on me. A huge thank you to my teachers for introducing me to his work. He was a fascinating, brilliant man.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 11:54amI need to bump this to the top of the page just to show that Arthur Miller is more important than whover is playing Elphaba.
#19re: Arthur Miller Passed Away
Posted: 2/11/05 at 12:08pmI agree Jon. Miller was a fantastic playwright, and truly had an amazingly rewarding and fulfilling life. My prayers are with him and his loved ones today, and I will always remember the great art he shared with the world.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 12:09pmThank you Jon for showing proper deference to the memory of a theatrical legend. He will be sorely missed. I'm not even gonna reference that banality that starts with the letter "W" in this thread.

What a SHOCK! MY jaw DROPPED and remained that way for several minutes until I had the conscience to shut it.
He was a legend. God rest his wonderful soul.
