ACTOR Brian Dennehy, star of the Broadway revival hit ”Death of a Salesman,” was rushed to the hospital early Sunday after feeling ill.

Doctors diagnosed hypertension, due to high blood pressure. The actor missed Sunday’s performance but was released from hospital yesterday.

Producers of the Arthur Miller classic wanted to cancel the shows for the rest of the week, but Dennehy said through his publicist: ”I’m going to perform [tonight] and I’m going on Rosie [tomorrow]!”-
