HOLLYWOOD - Late playwright Arthur Miller was mourned by New York's legendary Broadwaytheatres on Friday, when they turned off their lights as a mark of
respect.
Award-winning Miller died on Thursday evening surrounded by family
and friends following a battle with pneumonia, cancer and a heart condition. He
was 89.
Most famous for his Pulitzer Prize-winning play Death of a Salesman and his
five-year marriage to screen icon Marilyn Monroe, Miller's acclaimed works
provided Broadway producers with shows for decades.
And theatre bosses called a halt to the evening's entertainment at 8pm on
Friday by reducing their auditoriums to pitch black darkness--and remembering
the legend in silence.
Robert Whitehead, a Broadway producer who often worked with Miller, said, "He
spent his life seeking answers to what he saw around him as a world of
injustice."
