Barbara Roisman Cooper presents interviews she personally conducted with more than twenty stars of film, television, and theatre. Held in intimate surroundings-including the actors' private homes and theatre dressing rooms between performances-these interviews provide readers with a rounded understanding of the creative process and the dedication required to develop a performance...At nearly 400 pages and with an hefty index, this represents quite a body of work with 28 interviews...The questions are theatrical, not in a wild sense but in the sense of trying to get to the nub of what these people see as 'acting', there are none of the celebrity and lifestyle questions that so often dominate interviews, these are the questions anyone who loves the art of theatre would want to ask ... and Barbara Cooper gets the sort of answers we want to hear...[I]t is the content that counts in this interesting book.
