After a long and successful career in films and on Broadway, including 10 years with the famous Group Theatre, Adler began teaching her acting technique, which is based on her personal work with Konstantin Stanislavski – a technique that nurtures the imagination of the actor. Stella's teachings have been embraced by many of the world's most notable actors, writers, and directors, including Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Benicio Del Toro, Melanie Griffith, Susan Clark, Harvey Keitel, Richard Dreyfuss, Cybill Shepherd, John Ritter, Peter Bogdanovich, Gary Ross, Mark Ruffalo, Holland Taylor, and Ken Martin, to name only a few. The Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre Los Angeles was founded in 1985 by Stella Adler, Joanne Linville, and Irene Gilbert. Call us or visit us online at www.StellaAdler-LA.com.
