Julian Beck (May 31, 1925 – September 14, 1985) was an American actor, director, poet, and painter. He is best known for co-founding and directing The Living Theatre, as well as his role as Kane the evil preacher in the 1986 movie Poltergeist II: The Other Side.

Biography

Beck est né à Washington Heights, un quartier de Manhattan. Il est le fils de Mabel Lucille (née Blum), une enseignante, et d'Irving Beck, un homme d'affaires. Il s'inscrit brièvement à l'université Yale, mais abandonne ses études pour se consacrer à l'écriture et à la peinture. Dans les années 1940, il peint des tableaux qui relèvent de l'expressionnisme abstrait, mais sa carrière connaît un tournant radical lorsqu'il rencontre en 1943 Judith Malina. Elle devient sa femme le 30 octobre 1948 et lui fait partager sa passion pour le théâtre ; ensemble, ils fondent en 1947 le Living Theatre, qu'ils codirigent jusqu'au décès de Beck en 1985.

High school student Candy (former Miss Teen Sweden Ewa Aulin) seemingly descends to Earth from space. In the relatively simple plot, she naively endures an escalating series of situations in which her oblivious allure triggers satirical porn-film-like encounters. Roger Ebert wrote, "Candy caroms from one man to another like a nympho in a pinball machine, and the characters she encounters are improbable enough to establish Terry Southern's boredom with the conventions of pornography."
