Arthur Miller was an American playwright born in 1915 in New York City. Some of his most famous plays include All My Sons, Death of a Salesman, and The Crucible. The Crucible, written in 1952, was inspired by the Salem witch trials of 1692 and served as a metaphor for McCarthyism during the 1950s Red Scare in the United States. Miller was summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956 and cited for contempt of Congress for refusing to name other communists. He married actresses Marilyn Monroe and Inge Morath during his career before passing away in 2005.
