One of the all-time greats, who also stood up against Communist sympathizers in Hollywood. A giant among men.

Where will he be buried? How large will the marker stone be? (I need to know this for the choreography work prior to dancing on his grave).

You are an idiot. He's the one who ratted out the commies in Hollywood.

I remember the Hollywood communists who sat on their hands when he received the Oscar.
Ignorant communists.

yes remember the actors "babies" sat on their hands and did not honor this great man when they had a chance.
In regard to his lifetime achievement award.

You approve of Stalinists, I take it?

"I ain't sorry for what I done." And neither was Kazan. A hell of a director.
To: at bay
You must not know anything about Kazan. He bravely testified against the commies in Hollywood, and was blacklisted for it, but he still went on against the odds to achieve greatness in Hollywood.
To: Cacophonous
A hell of a director and a hell of an American.

Wouldn't that be great? I love that movie. How prescient on Kazan's part. Andy Griffeth surely played the role of WJC.

Kazan was a truly great film director, and a far better man than any of the simpleton Hollywooders who grind their teeth over not being around in the early '50s so they could bask today in the phony martyrdom of having been....blacklisted! Those scumbag no-talents who were "blacklisted" are actually heroes to some of today's chic Hollywood nouveau celebrities. Kazan never bought any of it.
