Stella Adler (February 10, 1901 – December 21, 1992[1]) was an American actress and acting teacher.[2]

A member of Yiddish Theater's Adler dynasty, Adler began acting at a young age. She shifted to producing, directing, and teaching, founding the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City in 1949.[3] Later in life she taught part time in Los Angeles, with the assistance of her protégée, actress Joanne Linville,[4] who continued to teach Adler's technique.[5][6]
