@anthrobserver - Both Stella & Sandy were both founding members of The Group Theatre. The were close and devoted friends all their lives. They shared virtually the same set of artistic principles. However, their teaching styles were different. Sandy was more technically precise. Stella's great specialties were characterization, style, & script interpretation. Their friend Robert Lewis emphasized working by intention. As much as I loved Sandy, I only wish I could have studied with Stella, too!

why does stella have a british accent when she is american?????
strawberrylaralara 1 year ago
@strawberrylaralara There was a time in the history of acting when actors developed "stage speech." Having grown up in Russian-Jewish household on the lower east side of New York, I can only imagine what her real native accent sounded like. She often told the story on herself. "I was buying something at Tiffany and the sales girl asked me, 'Are you British?' 'No, darling. Just affected.'"

This comment was made in the late 70's or early 80's. It was during a period when everyone thought that the British actors had it all. They could do no wrong. Stella's point was that they had the outer size ... the voice, the mannerisms ... but not the ability to play the inner depth (inner size) necessary for modern characters.

I think you're missing the point of Stella's comments. What she is saying is that American actors don't have size. And by size she's not talking about big voices or big presentations. She's talking about inner size. The British comment came out of a time (early 80's) when everyone assumed that British actors were better than American actors. She was answering a question before it was asked. As to Meisner and Adler. They were close friends. Believed much the same about acting. Different approach.
