Grieving Miller hypes her ‘Ballad’
Playwright Arthur Miller’s daughter Rebecca braved the press Tuesday when she appeared at the Berlin Film Festival to promote her new film, five days after her father’s death.
She was there for the European premiere of “The Ballad of Jack and Rose,” a poignant tale of a man’s relationship with his daughter, written and directed by Rebecca Miller. The father is played by her husband, Daniel Day-Lewis.
Looking drawn and tired, and appearing alongside Day-Lewis, Miller was spared questions about her father. Festival organizers urged reporters beforehand not to refer to the death at the post-film news conference.
“Both Rebecca and Daniel are still overwhelmed at their loss, but he and Rebecca wanted to honor her father’s wishes by coming here to Berlin to represent her film,” a spokesman for the Berlinale said.
