In the Company of Actors Reviews

"A testament to her prowess as an editor and researcher, Zucker is equally present and absent in the text, letting each actor take center stage in a smooth narrative undisrupted by questions. It's an unmitigated delight to read the insights, rants, and kvetchings of some of the brightest stars in the English-speaking theatrical firmament."
-"Library Journal, 2/00
"[It] is filled with delicious disclosures.... What makes "In the Company of Actors not just dazzling, but truly illuminating are the fine minds at work here. Acting is something these actors have spent no only a great deal of time doing, but a great deal of time thinking about. And we can be thankful to have a book like "In the Company of Actors that does such wonderful justice to actors and the acting life."
-"The Montreal Gazette, March 4, 2000
"This book is a remarkable achievement.... This volume belongs in all college and university library collections, where it will serve bothundergraduate and graduate students. A splendid accomplishment; highly recommended."
-"Choice, June 2000
"These sixteen chats with the masters will prove illuminating not just to actors but to anyone with a passion for the theatre or film....[Zucker] has elicited all kinds of extraordinary response from them, a great flow of extemporaneous expression, and ultimately a richly impressionistic portrait of the actor's imagination."
-"Montreal Review of Books
"Lively and thoughtful, Zucker askes all the right questions of her subjects... [A] must-read for cinephiles...."
-"Mirror
