Description

“The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times
 
Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only some of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence at the art of acting in our time. All through his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would provide an explanation for once and for all what The Method used to be and how it worked, in addition to telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for somebody involved with the theater in any way.
 
“A will have to for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman

“The most important cultural document.”—Booklist
