  • Mr. Elia Kazan (real name Elia KAZANCIOGLU). He is half greek (mother) and half anatolian (turkish).KAZANCIOGLU is a turkish name.

    RIP he was a great director!

  • He was born a Turkish subject of Greek descent during the Ottoman Empire. Kazan is a shortened American version of the family name Kazantzoglou . ( not sure about the spelling )

    As far as his testimony , he gave only the names that were already named so it wasn't like he was throwing anyone under the bus.

    And what in the world is mysticgirl talking about ? Who was killed because of Kazan ?

  • Kazan is a Turkish name. 

  • He was a good GREEK Director

  • Kazan wasn't Armenian as Plummer said. He was Greek.

  • kazan like every informer was looking out for number one

    hoover created a generation of "artists" who had no real competition due to fear and the privilege of work purely for collaboration with a murderer.

    many people were killed with the help of kazan, and it included artists.

  • Uhh, what? Plummer's interpretation of Kazan's reasons for "naming names" . . . is intellectually smug and condescending. Incapable of thinking that maybe Kazan acted out of a conviction informed by intelligence and life experience . . .

  • Very interesting. I think the "At what price?" really makes one think of one's responsibility as a Director.

  • That was INCREDIBLY interesting,thank you!
