Elia Kazan dead
Sep. 29th, 2003 04:53 pmObituary from the New York Times here.
Interestingly, I own a book that once belonged to Mr. Kazan. It's a copy of Bernard Rudofsky's Are Clothes Modern? dated in an inscription as having been acquired in July 1947. That was the year, says the Times, he directed Arthur Miller's play All My Sons, and the film Gentleman's Agreement. I wish I could report a racy side-column note from him in the book, but he seems, as Anne Fadiman would put it, to have been a chaste book owner.
