was a student of Lee Strasburg in his private class.  I was directing around town, off-off Broadway, and in other areas in New York.  I was invited to go to his Directors Unit at The Actors Studio for my first play that I was going to direct.  I actually sat down and wrote a play, a one act play. When my play was acted at The Actors Studio, Cheryl Crawford brought in a financial man to hopefully give money to the Studio.  He was so moved by the play that he gave $50,000 to the actual Studio.  Lee Strasburg, who doesn’t show much emotion, was deeply moved by the play, and he encouraged me to really continue writing plays.
