NIGHTLIGHT: “THE LEE STRASBERG NOTES” BOOK LAUNCH CELEBRATION AT ELAINE’S A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

Last night, Peachy Deegan popped into Elaine's for the fabulous launch of "The Lee Strasberg Notes."  The evening of March 15th, Mrs. Anna Strasberg was in attendance at Elaine's as well as author Lola Cohen, Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn and Mykelti Williamson.  The book is the first publication which presents Lee Strasberg’s Method as he himself taught it. Edited by Lola Cohen, a teacher at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, the book compiles unpublished transcripts of classes that he taught there in the last seven years of his life.  We can't wait to review it and were delighted to meet Lola Cohen and many lovely guests.  Elaine's is so Whom You Know; as you imagine these literary types do know the difference between who and whom so we love them!

WHEN: Monday, March 15, 2010
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

WHERE: Elaine’s
1703 Second Avenue (near 88th St.)
New York, NY 10128

MORE: Celebrating its 40th anniversary, LSTFI remains as vibrant today as in 1969, when it was established. Its classes in New York and L.A. continue to attract the best teachers and most dedicated students, serving as a hothouse for fledgling young talent. Some of the most memorable film, television and stage performances of the past 50 years owe their intensity and honesty to the Method approach including James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Sidney Poitier, Jack Nicholson, Jane Fonda, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Adam Sandler, Uma Thurman, Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Sienna Miller.

Another fabulous job by BWR!
