It is at once the voicing of her exacting standards for herself and those she [taught], and an explanation of the means to the end. <br /> --Publishers Weekly<br /> <br /> Hagen adds to the large corpus of titles on acting with vivid dicta drawn from experience, skill, and a sense of personal and professional worth. Her principal asset in this treatment is her truly significant imagination. Her 'object exercises' display a wealth of detail with which to stimulate the student preparing a scene for presentation. <br /> --Library Journal<br /> <br /> Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting . . . is a relatively small book. But within it, Miss Hagen tells the young actor about as much as can be conveyed in print of his craft. <br /> --Los Angeles Times<br /> <br /> There are almost no American actors uninfluenced by Uta Hagen. <br /> --Fritz Weaver<br /> <br /> This is a textbook for aspiring actors, but working thespians can profit much by it.
