Born in New York City, he is best known for his iconic works Death of a Salesman (1949), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and The Crucible (1953), a powerful allegory about McCarthyism.

In addition to his literary achievements, Miller was a prominent public intellectual and briefly married to actress Marilyn Monroe. His works remain a cornerstone of American theater.
