![]() But right at the start I want you to know that you do matter. Over the next few months you will hear me say repeatedly that acting is not about you. I am grateful to the inestimable contributions she has made to my life and I feel privileged to have been associated with her and her family professionally and personally throughout my life. She is loved by many and we owe her much. Almost all film-making anywhere in the world has been affected by American films, which has been, in turn, influenced by Stella Adler’s teachings. Little did she know that her teachings would impact theatrical culture worldwide. She brought back to this country a knowledge of his technique and incorporated it in her teaching. As a result, her contributions to the theatrical culture have remained largely unknown, unrecognized, and unappreciated.Īs far as I know, she was the only American artist who went to Paris to study with Konstantin Stanislavski, who was himself a skilled observer of human behavior and a most prominent figure in Russian theatre. She never lent herself to vulgar exploitations, as some other well-known so-called “methods” of acting have done. Through her work she imparts the most valuable kind of information - how to discover the nature of our own emotional mechanics and therefore those of others. PREFACE To me Stella Adler is much more than a teacher of acting.
