so he finally died the, somehow, I always thought he'd died years ago...wrote some good stuff though didn't he.

It was the way he wrote. Made you think he must have died young. Rather like Leonard Cohen in that respect (and only in that respect). He wrote some good plays, I used to go and see them in London.

The crucible was a good one, saw that a couple times, even had to study that in English at school, bit weird that, not that I minded....

Lion in Winter

He also spoke out against McCarthyism and continued to speak up on political matters all his life.

Bob

aye, pretty much what the crucible was about weren't it...well obviously a parallel of

The guy was amazing. I loved his work and feel that sadly we might not see the likes of another like him, Tennessee Williams or any of the other fantastic playwrights that made contemporary theatre so electrifying, important, relevant and necessary. He'll be sorely missed.

Lord Lionheart

Thats great but he also shagged Marilyn Munroe

emmals

Lord Lionheart

I thought he was only in his mid forties?

emmals

i meant whaen he was younger ...i'd be a bit worried if he looked like him now

Lord Lionheart

Tennesee Williams? Don't expect an invitation to do the eulogy at Artie's funeral
