Born on this day in 1909, Elia Kazan became an important theater director during the 1940s with such plays as 'The Skin of Our Teeth' and 'Death of a Salesman'. He later won Oscars for his film direction of 'Gentleman's Agreement' and 'On the Waterfront', and always managed to draw superb performances from his actors. He also founded the Actor's Studio in 1947 and has written several novels. He is seen in a 1940s portrait. 
Kazan verfilmte Werke moderner US-amerikanischer Autoren wie Tennessee Williams (»Endstation Sehnsucht«, 1951) und John Steinbeck (»Jenseits von Eden«, 1955). Junge Schauspieler, z.B. Marlon Brando, James Dean, Paul Newman und Rod Steiger, zeigten unter seiner Regie große darstellerische Leistungen.

The strip is still running. Since Chic Young’s death in March, 1973, Blondie has been written by Chic’s son, Dean. It was drawn, for a time, by Jim Raymond, then by Stan Drake. The strip is now done by Dean Young and Denis Lebrun. 

Dagwood continues to be the bungling husband who gets into petty arguments with his neighbor, Herb Woodley; the office worker abused by his boss, Mr. Dithers; and the sleep-in, miss the carpool, lazy friend, husband, employee. In the 1990s, Blondie Bumstead, whose children are no longer babies, became a working woman, joining up with Herb’s wife, Tootsie. They have a catering service. 

In their honor, make a Dagwood sandwich today.
