Fellow playwright Edward Albee once said, writes the Daily Mail, Miller had held up a mirror and told society: Here is how you behave. I guess this includes not only being sympathetic to communism, but also tearing your infant Down syndrome son away from a mother who desperately wanted to keep him and committing him to a mental institution. And this was done, avers American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson, All because he [Miller] must have been embarrassed that his son wasn't capable of being the intellectual he wanted to pretend to be himself.
Miller wrote one good play and lived off it the rest of his life, producing ever more dreadful dreck for forty years.
Both obviously true statements. It is entirely possible to be remarkably evil.
If Hitler had been incompetent, he would not have accomplished what he did.
That says more about Monroe than it does about Miller.
I’m not so sure what that play would be. Perhaps you might want to read the article by Thomas Lifson that the author linked up to. Miller was a rotten skunk and his work was consistently anti-American.
Only wish I would have figured out when I was young and single that “Hey, Baby, I’m a Communist!” was such an effective pick-up line...
I don’t know who Alice Walker is
Gandhi: That was a surprise. Evidently the media worshiped him like they do Zero.
As the article says, she’s the broad who wrote “The Color Purple.”
Alice Walker: Called her daughters birth a calamityAlice was punished with a baby.
I know Ghandi said the Jews in Germany and Poland should protest peacefully against the Nazi’s.
Your day is starting off well, then.
“I know Ghandi said the Jews in Germany and Poland should protest peacefully against the Nazis.”
But first, how about a refreshing shower...the line’s over there.
Kinda surprised that St. Che Guevara isn’t on that list ...
I was a drama major in college. Of course we all had to study the "great playwrights"; and many of our acting and directing scenes were culled from plays by Miller, O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Shaw, et al. Looking back, almost all the plays were nothing more than screeds against the American Dream; or were pro-homosexual and pro-communist, etc.
Amazing how these people are whitewashed.
From what I’ve read, Marilyn wasn’t happy with Joe. She wasn’t happy with Arthur either.
The best part of that movie is where the cop walks out and conks Oprah on the head with the butt of his revolver. I’d pay cash money to see somebody do that in real life.
Great article! Thanks for the post.
