Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
For anyone interested in acting, how an actress approaches a role, or just the "theater biz," this is an absolutely essential book. The actresses, most of whom have careers in both theater and film, include Joanne Woodward, Gwen Verdun, Judith Ivey, and Cherry Jones. Their approaches are often dissimilar but always thought-provoking. Instead of using a question-and-answer format, editor and interviewer Harris collects related responses under topical headings ("The Rehearsal Process") or snippets of a quote used in the answer ("Everything is manifested by our behavior"?Judith Ivey). A striking characteristic is the commitment of all the actresses to their profession and to improving their art. Harris has been a stage manager for over 20 years, and it quickly becomes obvious that these eight actresses responded to him openly, sincerely, and honesly about their careers and abilities. Recommended for all academic and larger public libraries, particularly those with a clientele interested in the arts. The lack of an index is insignificant; photos not seen.?Susan L.
