These sources provide biographical information on three interconnected individuals: Elia Kazan, a highly influential but controversial Greek-American director; Molly Kazan (née Thacher), his first wife and an American dramatist; and Robin Swicord, a contemporary American screenwriter and director who is married to Elia and Molly's son, Nicholas Kazan. The entry on Elia Kazan focuses extensively on his directing career in both theater and film, his use of Method acting, and the enduring controversy surrounding his House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) testimony. Molly Kazan's biography details her work as a dramatist and her challenging marriage to Elia, while the article on Robin Swicord highlights her success in literary adaptations for film, including her work on Little Women and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Collectively, the sources trace a multi-generational family line of prominent figures in American stage and cinema.
