Just finished the book, "A Method to Their Madness: The History of the Actors Studio" by Foster Hirsch and really enjoyed it even if I started losing sight in my right eye.

My eyes are so worn out!

I read the book all at once. My head has been throbbing. I'm allergic to something. I'm in a lot of pain!

But the book was helpful in distracting me. I'll be able to use this pain as a future "Sense Memory" I'm sure.

The book takes us behind the doors of the Actors Studio and we walk the path Stanislavski's system took to get to the U.S., from the Moscow Art Theatre to the Group Theatre, then on to the Actors Studio, the evolution of Strasberg's Method...

Brando, Pacino, and Dean!

Shelly Winters!!!

Makes me wish I had a time machine and knew what I know now and could observe the beginnings of these great actors!

And buy some winning stocks!
