Playwright Arthur Miller, the creator of The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, has died at the age of 89.
Miller died on Thursday evening, having battled with cancer, pneumonia and a heart condition.
He was one of the most significant American writers of the 20th Century, whose fame was further magnified by his short-lived marriage to Marilyn Monroe.
His play The Crucible was inspired by his own experience of the McCarthy witch hunts of the 1950s.
