About
THE UNDERSTUDY takes readers from the Broadway stage to a mind-blown safari in east Africa to a Hollywood film studio to a closing-night cast party in Boston with stops in New York's underworld and the television industry.
Drawing on his experience as a director, Elia Kazan enhances the meaning of "arrangement" to encompass the sexual accommodations most people live by...and lie about.
Kazan's films have become classics. VIVA ZAPATA!, EAST OF EDEN and A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. He won Academy Awards for GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT and ON THE WATERFRONT.
