Elia Kazan – Zoe Kazan

Elia Kazan was a prominent actor, producer, screenwriter, and director widely recognized as one of the most influential directors in Hollywood and Broadway history. Elia’s films were best known for concerning various social or personal issues that have his particular concern. In his words, he doesn’t move unless he has a certain degree of empathy with the basic theme. Without a doubt, Elia was one of the unique individuals in entertainment.

Entertainment seems to be in the blood of Elia’s family, as his granddaughter, Zoe Kazan, also took an interest in the industry. Zoe pursued an acting career, but she’s also a playwright and a screenwriter at the same time. She already appeared in a good number of movies throughout his career, including Ruby Sparks, Meek’s Cutoff, The Savages, Revolutionary Road, and many more. You could say that Zoe inherited his father’s passion for acting and the industry as a whole.
