  10. Domestic drama: Lee Strasberg's family continues the legacy of instruction, despite some friction

    The Method is dead. Long live the Method. &#182; Spend an afternoon with David Lee Strasberg, the ambitious 38-year-old son of legendary acting guru Lee Strasberg, and you just might walk away with the idea that something revolutionary is going on at the <a href="http://www.strasberg.com/">Strasberg Theatre &amp; Film Institute</a>. That would be overstating matters. This family-run school with flagships in West Hollywood and New York still finds its raison d'&#234;tre in what Strasberg himself identified as the training of the actor's internal skills. But the vision of the Method being articulated at the institute, observing its 40th anniversary this year, seems to have little to do with the stereotype of sweaty, mumbling actors wallowing in the muck of unhappy childhoods. &#182; Dressed in preppy clothes that hint at his undergraduate days at<a href="http://www.brown.edu"> Brown</a>, Strasberg <i>fils</i>, the institute's CEO and creative director (whom I'll refer to as DLS), says that the Strasberg approach -- the best known of the American adaptations of the Stanislavsky "system" commonly grouped together as the Method -- is less reliant on psychobabble than most people believe. The words "Oedipal Complex" never pass his lips. But more interesting is the way developments in neuroscience keep cropping up in his conversation. Don't bother telling him about the toy your parents didn't buy you, but do engage him on the subject of conditioned reflexes and the neuropsychology of smells.

  12. 'The Godfather': A restoration offer they couldn't refuse
