The podcast returns with the first of a three-part series covering Elia Kazan (1909-2003), a director, actor, and novelist whose career in film spanned over 30 years. In addition to being a celebrated theatre director who staged works from titans like Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, Kazan co-founded the Actors Studio and helmed films like Gentleman's Agreement, A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, and East of Eden. The director's life wasn't without controversy, as his testimony to the House of Un-American Activities Committee during the days of the Hollywood Blacklist made him a polarizing figure in the industry. Join us as we look at his early films, his brief stint as a member of the communist party, and his role in the Group Theatre and the Actors Studio. Kisses many.
