Yeah, and here’s another page from the Miller family album. With his first wife, the playwright had a son who was born with Down’s Syndrome. Mrs. Miller wanted to raise their child at home, but her husband insisted that he be institutionalized, and he was, for the rest of his life. In fact, it took public pressure for that compassionate liberal, Arthur Miller, to include the boy in his will.
That episode speaks volumes about Miller’s character, or the lack thereof.
Intriguing discovery - the English actor Daniel Day-Lewis has been married to one of Miller's daughters for 20 years.
Day-Lewis regularly visited Miller's handicapped child for many years, and he apparently convinced Miller to begin visiting the child before Miller died.
Miller married the noted photographer Inge Morath, who was pregnant with his child. They met while Inge was photographing Monroe on the set of *Misfits*.
In 1966 Inge gave birth to a son named Daniel, who was born with Down Syndrome. Arthur did not have the emotional capacity to deal with a disabled child and he was therefore, at Arthur’s instigation, institutionalized shortly after his birth. Whilst Inge was a regular visitor until her death, it has been reported that Arthur Miller did not visit Daniel.
