Conflicting claims about the amount of money advanced to Marlon Brando to make the trip to Provincetown differ by $5—or, perhaps the actor col- lected a total of $45.00 from the two parties. Audrey Wood recalled that Liebling gave the actor “the magnificent sum of $25.00” to take the bus to Provincetown. From Letter from Audrey Wood to Elia Kazan, August 14, 1978, Audrey Wood Papers, HRC. Kazan also claimed that he advanced Brando $20 to make the trip. See Elia Kazan, A Life (New York: Alfred A.

    KU ScholarWorks | The Inge Digital Collection http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds by Jeff Loomis Presented at the William Inge Theater Festival. March 29, 2014 The Inge Digital collection in KU ScholarWorks contains scholarly conference papers presented at the annual William Inge Theatre Festival, held at Independence Community College, in Independence, KS. The Independence Community College library is the curator of the William Inge Collection, home of over 400 manuscripts by William Inge donated primarily by Inge and his family, as well as press clippings, memorabilia and books. Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds By Jeff Loomis Presented at the William Inge Theater Festival 2014 2 Arthur Kopit: Inveterate Analyst of Frail Human Minds ”Wings,” produced in 1979 to high acclaim, is a key work in Arthur Kopit’s dramatic canon. In preparing this poignant transcription of one character’s efforts to conquer the debilitation caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, Kopit researched much medical data, after first having confronted his own father’s stroke and resultant death (“Wings” 142-143). Indeed, some critics have surmised that Emily Stilson, the central character of “Wings,” also dies, after enduring her second stroke, at the culmination of her drama’s plot (Simon 78, Rosen 78). The conclusion of the play seems ambiguous to me, though, and the drama surely strives, through much of its action, to demonstrate the slow, but apparently sure, dimensions of a recuperation that Emily Stilson had known, at least for a time. Meanwhile, of course, she did suffer (and we thus see dramatized) abundant personal anguish.

IN SUMMARY OF TALLULAH 103 APPENDIX 114 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 129 CHAPTER I THE BEGINNING OF SUCCESS Tallulah Bankhead's family tree was filled with ancestors who had served their country; but none, with the exception of Tallulah, had served in the theatre. Both her grandfather and her mother's grandfather were wealthy Alabamians. The common belief was that Tallulah received much of her acting talent from her father, but accounts of her mother1s younger days show proof that both of her parents were vivacious and talented. A stranger once told Tallulah, "Your mother was the most beautiful thing that ever lived. Many people have said you get your acting talent from your father, but I disagree. I was at school with Ada Eugenia and I knew Will well. Did you know that she could faint on 1 cue?11 Tallulahfs mother possessed grace and beauty and was quite flamboyant. She loved beautiful clothes and enjoyed creating a ruckus in her own Southern world.* Indeed, Tallulah inherited her mother's joy in turning social taboos upside down.
