Playwright Miller dies, aged 89

ARTHUR MILLER, considered one of America's greatest playwrights, has died. He was 89.

Miller, who was once married to screen legend Marilyn Monroe, died on Thursday night at his home in Roxbury of heart failure, his assistant, Julia Bolus, said. His family was at his bedside, she said.

Miller's career was marked by early success. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Death of a Salesman in 1949, when he was just 33 years old.
