Original cast of All My Sons: Arthur Kennedy, Karl Malden, Beth Merrill, Ed Begley and Lois Wheeler.
This playwright vowed that All My Sons would be his last atempt at writing a successful commercial play after his show The Man Who Had All the Luck failed on Broadway after 4 performances.
It’s a good thing he succeeded because if he didn’t we might not have such great plays as Death of a Salesman, The Crucible and The Price. That playwright was Arthur Miller.
