Arthur Miller

Arthur Asher Miller est né le 17 octobre 1915 et est un essayiste et dramaturge éminent de théâtre américain tout au long du XXe siècle. Né à Harlem, New York City, il a grandi dans le Lower East Side de la ville. Miller est d'origine polonaise-juive et a fréquenté l'école Rabbi Jacob Joseph pour son éducation primaire et secondaire. Il a poursuivi ses études en obtenant un diplôme de l'Université de la ville de New York et de la Brooklyn Law School, avant d'obtenir une maîtrise en droit de l'Université de New York.

Miller est célèbre pour ses œuvres dans le drame américain, qui incluent des pièces notables telles que "La mort d'un voyageur de commerce" (1949), pour laquelle il a remporté un prix Pulitzer, et "Les sorcières de Salem" (1953). Ses autres œuvres célèbres incluent "Une vue depuis le pont" et "Tous mes fils", qui sont encore largement étudiées et représentées dans le monde entier. En plus de ses contributions à la littérature, Miller a également été une figure importante du cinéma et a fait la une des journaux pour son refus de témoigner devant le comité des activités antiaméricaines de la Chambre des représentants. Il a également eu l'honneur d'être marié à l'actrice emblématique, Marilyn Monroe.

La vie personnelle d'Arthur Miller est aussi impressionnante que ses réalisations professionnelles. Il a épousé Ronnie Hershcopf en 1967 et a eu quatre enfants avec elle. La famille a vécu à New York jusqu'en 1971, date à laquelle ils ont déménagé à Brooklyn, où Miller a consacré son temps à représenter des membres de la Jewish Defense League dans leur lutte pour les Juifs soviétiques. Il a également travaillé comme professeur adjoint assistant de taxation à l'Université Pace de New York. En 1973, Miller a été transféré à Worcester, Massachusetts, où il est devenu associé dans un cabinet d'expertise comptable international et a rejoint un cabinet d'avocats de près de 200 ans, Fletcher Tilton, en 1991. Après avoir fait son aliyah en 2004, Miller et sa femme Ronnie se sont installés à Beit Shemesh, en Israël, où ils ont vécu leurs derniers jours entourés de leurs enfants et petits-enfants.
