Elia has also been characterized as a narcissist, having written to Molly after admitting to the affair with Monroe, "If you divorce me, I'll tell you plainly I will in time get married again and have more children. I feel I'm a family man and I want a family, and am a damned good one. I dont care what your judgment is on that. I think I see the world around me (us) a hell of a lot more clearly than you do or anyone else does for that matter."
Despite this, the couple stayed together, and Molly was very influential on his professional life.
Molly Day Kazan was the head of the playwriting division of Actors Studio for several years before resigning in May 1962.
