Probably most of us read him in HS or college.
rthur Miller, one of the great American playwrights, whose work exposed the flaws in the fabric of the American dream, died yesterday at his home in Roxbury, Conn. He was 89. The cause was congestive heart failure, said Julia Bolus, his assistant.
The author of "Death of a Salesman," a landmark of 20th century drama, Mr. Miller grappled with the weightiest matters of social conscience in his plays and in them often reflected or reinterpreted the stormy and very public elements of his own life: among them, a brief and rocky marriage to Marilyn Monroe and his staunch refusal to cooperate with the red-baiting House Committee on Un-American Activities.
"Death of a Salesman," which opened on Broadway in 1949, established Mr. Miller as a giant of the American theater when he was only 33 years old. It won the triple crown of theatrical artistry that year: the Pulitzer Prize, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and the Tony Award.
"Death of a Salesman" was a favorite of mine....did a couple of papers on him as well.

I don't know, but she was supposedly quite intelligent and hated the whole "dumb blonde" thing. Maybe she was attracted to his mind.
