Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman

Actor Lee J. Cobb plays Willy Loman being restrained while babbling at imaginary characters in the Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman" in 1949. The play made Arthur Miller famous, and turned Willy Loman into a shorthand phrase for a deluded loser who dreams of success beyond himself.
