The latest edition of a celebrated and bestselling acting resource I held onto this book for dear life throughout my twenties, and still thumb through it when I need a tune-up. If I lose my car keys and I'm frantically turning my house upside down trying to find them, I look up at the heavens and hope Uta's having a good laugh. -AMANDA PEET Uta Hagen changed my life. She changed the lives of thousands and thousands of other people as well. To have Uta's books, and to be able to look through them at the drop of a hat, keeps me going and keeps me inspired to keep going. -AUSTIN PENDLETON I read Respect for Acting frequently. As a remembrance of my time with Uta and to keep myself challenged and humble. It should be utilized by every acting student and professional. -VICTOR SLEZAK I was extraordinarily privileged to work with Uta Hagen in Circle in the Square's production of George Bernard Shaw's play You Never Can Tell. Her book, Respect for Acting, is a must-read for any actor at any age. She was committed to revealing the truth and we are the beneficiaries of her brilliant observations. -VICTOR GARBER
