Wynn Handman(1922-2020)

Was honored in 2013, at age 91, by many of the film stars whose acting careers he helped launch or nurture, including Dustin Hoffman, Frank Langella, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Matthew Modine, Chris Cooper and John Leguizamo.

I was drawn to [staging] challenging plays, plays that would not succeed commercially and therefore need a home. It was never in my mind to do a play that would become a hit. But that's what most New York theaters are all about today [2013].
