Arthur Miller, the great American playwright, died today at the age of 89.

Here is the obituary from the New York Times

Among his works are "The Death of a Salesman", "The Crucible" and the screenplay for "The Misfits".

I'm sure most of you have seen or read some of his works. Please feel free to comment on them.

Arthur Miller, RIP

 

Slight correction: He actually died on Thursday evening, 10 Feb 05 at his home in CT.

 

I wonder how that works in the life here after? His second wife died a few years ago. Of course his first wife was Marilyn Monroe.

One might assume that if he goes to heaven he may have a choice of being reunited with either wife.

On the other hand, if he goes to Hell?

 

Hmmm, that brings up an interesting question. If there is eternal life does that mean that one remains the embodiment of one's age at the time of death? In Marilyn Monroe's case she has remained thirty-six, and he is now and will ever more remain eighty-nine?

Is that heaven or is it hell .............................?

 

That would be Roxbury, Connecticut (also home to Dustin Hoffman).

Here they are together:

 

I find it surprising that we are the only one's that seemed to care?

I agree with you. I can't believe it myself. I'm a bit disappointed.

 

Rob,

It happened again. We agree on yet another topic? That Tsunami that actually changed the lenght of our days must have thrown more than that off balance?
