Dr. Michael Simons received his MD from the Yale University School of Medicine in 1984. Now, he serves as a Professor at Yale, as well as the founding director of the school’s Cardiovascular Research Center. In his personal life, Dr. Michael Simons enjoys attending theatrical productions, particularly of works by the playwright Arthur Miller.
Recently, a new documentary illuminating the life of Arthur Miller screened at the Woodstock Film Festival. The creative force behind the film is none other than the playwright’s daughter, Rebecca Miller, an award-winning filmmaker in her own right.
Arthur Miller: Writer dives deep into the writer’s personal life and career through never-before-seen footage that includes home movies and interviews. This fresh take on Mr. Miller illuminates a new side of the playwright, one rarely witnessed by the press. Rebecca Miller’s goal was to showcase the good with the bad, giving an accurate portrayal of her father’s origins as an artist, as well as his personal character.
The film, which was officially released in September, was produced by HBO Documentary Films. Rebecca Miller has written and directed multiple award-winning feature films, including Personal Velocity, Angela, and The Ballad of Jack and Rose.
