- Description
- Paul Newman hosts a star-studded look at the history and impact of Americas most influential acting school. The Actors Studio was founded in 1947 by group theatre members Elia Kazan, Cheryl Crawford, and Robert Lewis, and under the direction of Lee Strasberg became the center for advancing the naturalistic acting technique known as "the method." The Actors Studio has had a significant influence on American theater and film, nurturing such talents as Marlon Brando, Ellen Burstyn, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Al Pacino, Eli Wallach, And Joanne Woodward, many of whom are featured in the film. This program explains the method, which strives to find truth in acting, and shows how the studio provides a unique environment in which working actors can stretch their talents and hone their skills.
