Arthur Miller, the playwright who created “Death of a Salesman,” died Thursday. He was 89.

Miller died of heart failure, his assistant told news agencies.

His family was at his bedside in Roxbury, Connecticut, when he died.

Miller wrote such plays as “All My Sons,” “The Crucible,” and “Broken Glass.”

But his best known work was “Death of a Salesman.” It was released in 1949, and revived in 1984 on Broadway with Dustin Hoffman starring as Willy Loman.

Miller was married to Marilyn Monroe in 1956, and divorced five years later. He was married to Mary Grace Slattery before Monroe. He married Inge Morath in 1962 and they were married for 40 years until she died in 2002.

He is survived by his three children.
