FINKS to Make NY Debut at Ensemble Studio Theatre, 3/28
by BWW News Desk - Mar 12, 2013
Finks is playwright Joe Gilford's fictionalized account of his parents, Jack Gilford and Madeline Lee Gilford, and their real life experience of the blacklist. It is a tale of a scoundrel time, a time of paranoia, loyalty and betrayal, show business and show trials, told from the life of two young entertainers who, at the birth of their careers, had to confront the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). This play is about names, the naming of names, career-determining choices and finks.

Barbra Streisand Remembers Arthur Laurents
by Robert Diamond - May 7, 2011
In a statement posted on the star's web site, Barbra Streisand writes 'Arthur and I go way back to 'I Can Get It For You Wholesale' in 1962. Then we did 'The Way We Were' in 1973 and we were about to do 'Gypsy' together.
He created people you care about because he cared about people. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he sounded so strong, as always. He was lucky to have lived a full and creative life up 'til the very end.
I'll miss working with him again.'
