Arthur Miller was born on this day in 1915.  While he was one of the greatest American playwrights to ever live, he also pulled off something kind of incredible by getting Marilyn Monroe, possibly one of the most beautiful people to ever walk the earth, to not only marry him, but she also converted to Judaism to do it.

We’d like to extend one big thank you to Arthur Miller. You have given generations of smart people hope.
