...Producer Ely Landau, and he wanted her to star in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night. Demanded Hepburn: "Who's doing the script?" Replied Landau: "O'Neill." There was a long pause as the full significance of the answer sank in. Then Kate cried: "Marvelous!" and agreed to sign...
Opposite Directions. At first glance, it might seem as if Jacob Landau, 44, had come out of the same school as Robert Broderson, 41. In both Cinna the Poet (overleaf) and New Myth-Mine Disaster (last color page), the tortured figures look as if they were about to be torn apart...
