His daughter was in Madam Web? She must have been given the part by someone who hates Mamet but didn’t want anybody to know.

Well said, David.

Let me just say… I love David Mamet and everything he has ever written. He is an American treasure.

His children may have merited their roles but surely their name got them through the door to be considered at all.

This guy’s cultural commentary in the last decade is eloquent and very worth the read.

Regarding nepotism in Hollywood, Mamet doesn’t think his kids have benefitted from his accomplishments in the industry and rather says they learned from being on set, earning them a spot.Gee, where were all the complaints when Barbra Streisand cast her son in The Prince of Tides…. Because he was simply perfect for the role lol.

He’s great this guy, I had no idea he stood on the sane side politically, you would think given his profession he would be a full blown Marxist, but no, he actually has brains. I must have watch Glengarry Glenross 200 times. The dialogue in that movie is amazing. Even though Alec Baldwin is a schmuck that was definitely his greatest moment as an actor. “PUT DOWN THAT COFFEE!! Coffee’s for closers only!” Or Pacino “Don’t ever open your mouth until you know what the shot is. You’re a f****ng child.”

Mamet’s latest book is a Hollywood memoir and it is touching and hilarious and deep at the same time. I recommend it highly:l

“Nobody ever gave my kids a job because of who they were related to.” No comment.

The best thing that can be done is to start a different award.
Ignore the Oscar’s and work with the new award people. Make it up as you go along.
