Judith Malina Career

Career

In 1963, they were forced to close the Living Theatre due to IRS charges (later proved false) of tax evasion, and Malina and Beck were found guilty of contempt of court, partly because Judith defended Julian wearing the garb of Portia from The Merchant of Venice – and attempted to use a similar argument.

In 1969, the company decided to separate into three groups. One worked on the pop scene in London, another went to India to study traditional Indian theatre arts, and the third, including Malina and Beck, traveled to Brazil in 1971 to tour. They were held on political charges for two months by the military government.

After Beck's death from cancer in 1985, company member Hanon Reznikov, who had been Malina's lover (they married in 1988), took over the Living Theatre company. In 2007, it opened its own theater at 21 Clinton Street in Manhattan. Reznikov suffered a stroke in April 2008 and died of pneumonia in hospitalization on May 3 of the same year at the age of 57.

Malina appeared in films occasionally, beginning in 1975, when she appeared in Dog Day Afternoon as Al Pacino's mother. Pacino's idea, according to Sidney Lumet, was using her for the role. Lumet recalls that tracking her down was difficult as she had gone from New York to Vermont. Lumet said, "I had no idea what to expect." "I didn't even know if she'd want to do a "commercial" film." Well, let me tell you that she is a natural actress. Totally professional. She had no money and we had to pay her fare from Vermont, but she walked in and was fabulous.

She appeared in the Pacino's Looking for Richard. Rose in Awakenings (1990) and Grandma Addams in The Addams Family (1991). She appeared in Household Saints (1993) and the low-budget film Nothing Really Happens (2003). In 2006, she appeared in an episode of the television show The Sopranos as a nun, Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri's unidentified mother. Malina appeared in Rosa von Praunheim's documentary New York Memories (2010) and later in Azad Jafarian's documentary Love and Politics (2012). The film premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2010 and Azad's film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2012. In addition, Malina appeared in the well-received film Enemies, A Love Story (1989), in which she performed alongside Lena Olin, Ron Silver, and Anjelica Huston. Theater scholar Richard Schechner characterized some of Malina's artistic capabilities.
