Elia
Kazanjoglous his original name, (born September 7, 1909, Constantinople,
Ottoman Empire [now Istanbul, Turkey]—died September 28, 2003, New York, New
York, U.S.), Turkish-born American director and author noted for his successes
on the stage—especially with plays by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller—as
well as for his critically acclaimed films and for his role in developing a
revolutionary style of acting that embodied psychological and behavioral truth.
His reputation as one of the most accomplished and influential American stage
and film directors of the 1940s, ’50s, and early ’60s was clouded by his
cooperation in 1952 with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), to
which he “named names,” identifying fellow artists as members of the Communist
Party.
