George Abbott on Directing

You should know who George Abbott was, because he was a legend. The man lived to be 107. He first directed on Broadway in 1913, and directed almost to his death. He made a few movies, he was known for the "Abbott Touch" which caused hits. He is known for using young, malleable actors, so he could shape them.

Google him. Look around. He directed all the musicals you've ever heard of.

Enjoy.

I haven't read the other two yet, I thought I'd get a background before delving into Webster's own words, and I wasn't disappointed. The book is compelling, readable, and by the end I felt like I had such a picture of Webster's complex and beautiful life.
