Nicholas Kazan is an American screenwriter, film producer and director. He is the son of director Elia Kazan, and his first wife, playwright Molly Kazan. He married Robin Swicord, a writer, producer, actress, and director, in 1984. His daughter is the actress Zoe Kazan. Through his mother, Kazan is a direct descendant of classicist and college administrator Thomas Anthony Thacher, Yale president Jeremiah Day, and founding father Roger Sherman. Kazan, a noted playwright, premiered his newest work, Mlle. God, in Los Angeles with the "Ensemble Studio Theatre-LA". Kazan's "dark comedy" re-invents "Frank Wedekind"'s seminal ?Lulu? character. He noted his inspiration came "most of all by "Louise Brooks"' luminous comic performance" of the character. [More at Wikipedia]
