Noting his deplorable treatment of his son.
His next major work was ''[[The Crucible]]'', produced in 1953. Mired in controversy in its day, it is a fictionalized account of the [[Salem Witch trials]] of the late 17th century, which deliberately attempted to allegorize the diligent anti-communism of the [[McCarthy]] era. He would later be called before the [[House Committee on Un-American Activities]], but refused to give any names of those suspected of supposedly [[anti-American]] or [[Communist]] activities.<ref name="kirj" />

Miller was briefly married to film star [[Marilyn Monroe]] between 1956 and 1961, but the couple divorced shortly before the film star's death. In 1962 he married photographer Inge Morath, to whom he remained married until her death in 2002. During this time, Miller continued to write plays, but by the 1970s, his output slowed considerably, although he remained politically active. He died in 2005 of heart failure.
