Early life

Career

Kazan, a noted playwright, premiered his newest work, Mlle. God (2011), 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 cosmic performance" of the character.[2]

Kazan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay for his work on Reversal of Fortune.[3][4][5]
